If your bread machine has a horizontal pan, however, there isn't enough dough to make a good loaf of baked bread.Did You KnowJalapeno chilies are named after Jalapa, the capital of Veracruz, Mexico. The seeds and membrane inside the chili contain a compound called capsaicin, which creates the heat of the chili. This compound also can burn your skin and eyes, so be sure to wear plastic gloves when handling chilies and wash your hands thoroughly when finished.Sandwich BoardThis Chili Cheddar Spread is a great way to use any extra corn. Mix a 3-ounce package of softened cream cheese with 2 tablespoons milk until smooth and creamy. Stir in 1/3 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, ¼ cup whole kernel corn, ¾ teaspoon chili powder and a sliced green onion. This makes about 2/4 cup spread, so cover and refrigerate any leftovers.From "Betty Crocker's Best Bread Machine Cookbook, The Goodness of Homemade Bread the Easy Way."

Categories     Side Casseroles

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 Tbsp butter
6 large fresh green chiles (such as anaheim), roasted, peeled and seeded
1/2 c grated monterey jack cheese
1/4 c grated sharp cheddar cheese
3 eggs -- yolks and whites separated
2 ears corn, kernals removed
2 Tbsp yellow cornmeal
2 Tbsp flour
1/3 c milk
2 Tbsp sour cream
1/2 tsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350° . Butter an 8-inch-square baking pan with 1 tablespoon of the butter.
  • 2. Place the chiles in a layer on the bottom of the pan, and sprinkle all but 2 tablespoons of the cheese on top of them.
  • 3. Beat the egg whites until fluffy, but not stiff.
  • 4. In another bowl, mix together the egg yolks, corn kernels, cornmeal, flour, milk, sour cream and salt. Fold the whites gently into the yolk-flour mixture. Spoon over the cheese and peppers.
  • 5. Cut the remaining butter into small pieces and scatter over the top. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over all. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until all but the very center is set. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cornmeal. Stone-ground cornmeal will give your cornbread a more rustic flavor and texture, while finely-ground cornmeal will produce a more tender crumb.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your cornbread.
  • Preheat your oven well before baking. This will help to ensure that your cornbread cooks evenly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make your cornbread tough.
  • 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 slightly before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the cornbread with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include butter, honey, and chili.
