Cheesy Jalapeño Cornbread

I’m not the biggest fan of cornbread…. But my husband LOVES this. And the best part, NO JIFFY! 😜

2 large eggs, whisked

¼ cup melted butter

1 cup buttermilk

½ cup all-purpose flour

1 cup cornmeal

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

1 tablespoon sugar

1 ½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon garlic powder

1½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

½ white onion, diced

3 medium jalapeno peppers seeded and diced

Place a greased 8-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven before turning it on. Then, set the oven to preheat to 350°F, letting the skillet warm up as the oven heats.

Mix EGGS, BUTTER, and BUTTERMILK together in a medium bowl and set the mixture aside.

In a separate bowl, blend together the FLOUR, CORNMEAL, BAKING POWDER, BAKING SODA, SUGAR, SALT, and GARLIC POWDER. Whisk the

ingredients until they are well combined.

Add the egg mixture to the cornmeal mixture and stir until everything is evenly combined.

Gently fold in the CHEESE, ONION, and JALAPENOS into the mixture.

Carefully take the skillet out of the oven and pour the batter into the heated skillet.

Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the surface is golden brown. To test for doneness, an inserted toothpick should come out clean or with just a few dry crumbs.

Allow the cornbread to cool for 10-15 minutes before cutting and serving.

... Read moreJalapeño cornbread is a delightful twist on the traditional southern favorite, offering a unique blend of flavors that tantalize your taste buds. This recipe stands out because it doesn't rely on boxed mixes, highlighting fresh ingredients at their best. To enhance the flavor, consider using different types of cheese such as pepper jack for an extra kick or combining cheddar with mozzarella for a rich texture. This dish is not only perfect as a side for chili or barbecue but also makes for a satisfying snack on its own. You can personalize the spiciness of your cornbread by adjusting the number of jalapeños according to your preference. Cornmeal offers a wonderful texture, making the cornbread moist and tender. Pairing it with buttermilk adds a slight tang and enhances the overall richness of the dish. Remember, the key to achieving the best cornbread is not to overmix the batter; gentle folding allows for a light, airy result. For an elegant twist, top your cornbread with a sprinkle of fresh chopped cilantro or a drizzle of honey before serving. This not only elevates the presentation but also adds an exciting contrast of flavors. Enjoy your homemade Cheesy Jalapeño Cornbread warm, and let its aroma fill your kitchen—making it impossible for anyone to resist!
