BROCCOLI CORNBREAD

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups self-rising buttermilk cornbread mix
1/2 cup chopped sweet onion, such as Vidalia
10 ounces pepper Jack cheese, grated
8 ounces fresh broccoli florets, chopped (about 2 cups)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
1 cup sour cream
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Pour the vegetable oil in a 9-inch cast-iron skillet that has been well seasoned to prevent sticking.
  • Combine the cornbread mix, onion, cheese, broccoli, black pepper and jalapeno in a large bowl. Stir in the sour cream, buttermilk and melted butter to make a thick batter.
  • Heat the oil in the skillet over medium heat until hot and shimmering. Spoon in the batter, spreading it to the edges. The oil will come up around the edges of the batter. Spread it over the top of the batter. (During the baking process the oil will help brown the bread.)
  • Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, and then carefully loosen the edges and bottom with an egg turner or large spatula and turn onto a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Meet the Cook: This recipe was inspired by my husband's love of corn bread. It's so good, he and folks who dine with us (like our two grown children) eat it plain. We're retired but still "commute" - between our rural home and our fishing camp! -Lois Triplet, Springhill, Louisiana

A LITTLE DIFFERENT BROCCOLI CORNBREAD



A Little Different Broccoli Cornbread image

To my surprise, I just discovered that our favorite broccoli cornbread recipe isn't among the dozens posted on 'zaar. I share it with one warning: It's not a healthy dish to begin with, and this version is more sinful than most. It sure is yummy, though! We particularly enjoy this in the summertime as an accompaniment to a vegetable dinner of turnip greens, black-eyed peas, squash and slices of homegrown tomatoes. Given that menu, the Calorie and Cholesterol Police never even notice. :) The original recipe specifies a 9"x13" baking dish. However, I discovered by accident that it's really best when made in a dish that's 7"x11". If you happen to have that odd size, do use it.

BROCCOLI CHEDDAR CORNBREAD



Broccoli Cheddar Cornbread image

Provided by Pat Neely

Categories     Bread     Side     Bake     Sauté     Picnic     Thanksgiving     Cheddar     Broccoli     Sugar Conscious

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
One 10-ounce package frozen chopped broccoli, thawed but not drained (or see headnote)
Two 8 1/2-ounce boxes cornbread mix
1/2 cup whole milk
One 8-ounce container cottage cheese
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon salt
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons grated sharp cheddar cheese, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Heat the butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium high heat. Add the onion, and sauté until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and broccoli to the skillet, and sauté for 2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant and the broccoli has warmed through. In a medium bowl, stir together the cornbread mix, milk, cottage cheese, eggs, salt, and 1 cup of the cheddar cheese until smooth, then pour the batter into the skillet over the vegetables and stir to blend. Sprinkle the top of the batter with the remaining cheese. Bake the cornbread in the skillet for about 30 minutes, until it is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 to 10 minutes, then serve.

Tips:

  • The cornbread batter can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance. Just cover it tightly and refrigerate until ready to bake.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking the cornbread. This will help it to rise evenly.
  • Bake the cornbread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that it is cooked through.
  • Let the cornbread cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to cut.

Conclusion:

Whether you're looking for a classic Southern side dish or a creative new way to enjoy cornbread, this recipe is sure to please. The addition of broccoli and cheese adds a unique flavor and texture that makes this cornbread anything but ordinary. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make side dish, give this broccoli cornbread a try.
