Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the baking dish
1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup milk
1 cup sour cream or 2 percent Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
1/2 cup sauteed onions
1/2 cup canned chopped green chiles
3/4 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Generously coat a 9-inch square baking dish or 9-inch cast-iron skillet with cooking spray. Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
  • Whisk together the milk, sour cream, butter and egg in a medium bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk to combine. Fold in the onions, green chiles and cheese.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake until the cornbread springs back when pressed in the center, 25 to 35 minutes. Let cool in the baking dish for about 15 minutes. Loosen the edges, then slice into wedges or squares and serve warm or at room temperature.

Time 55m

Yield One 9-by-9 inch cornbread (12 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Nonstick cooking spray
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons honey
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups fine yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup whole milk, at room temperature
1/3 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt, at room temperature
1 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
One 4-ounce can chopped green chiles, drained
1 cup corn kernels (drained, if canned; thawed, if frozen)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9-by-9-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the butter, sugar and honey to combine. Add the eggs one at a time and whisk well to combine.
  • In another medium bowl, whisk the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt together to combine. Add half of the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until fully incorporated. Add the milk and sour cream and stir until the mixture is evenly combined.
  • Add the remaining flour mixture and stir until incorporated. Fold in 1 cup of the cheese, the chiles and corn, stirring just until the batter is uniformly combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the surface. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 24 minutes.
  • Let the cornbread cool at least 15 minutes in the pan and serve warm, or cool fully before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen corn. If using fresh corn, remove the kernels from the cob. If using frozen corn, thaw it before using.
  • Dice the green chiles finely. This will help to distribute the flavor evenly throughout the cornbread.
  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese. This will give the cornbread a rich, cheesy flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cornbread tough.
  • Bake the cornbread in a hot oven. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving. This will help to prevent it from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Cheesy green chile cornbread is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. It's perfect for potlucks, picnics, and parties. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is sure to become a family favorite.
