CORNBREAD WITH JALAPENO AND CHEDDAR CHEESE



Cornbread With Jalapeno and Cheddar Cheese image

You can omit the jalapeno and or cheese. They have a nice kick to them. I am removing Trans fats from my recipes for better health. This originally had shortening and now replaced with a healthier choice of oil.

This cornbread is best served freshly baked. The roasted peppers provide a light heat, a good strong cheddar is best for full flavour. I sometimes add two tablespoons of finely chopped onion along with the peppers. Source: Homemakers magazine

Time 45m

Yield 1 cornbread, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 small fresh jalapeno peppers
1 cup milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons melted butter or 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/4 cups cornmeal
1/2 cup white flour
1/4 cup wholewheat flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup strong cheddar cheese, diced (or grated)

Steps:

  • Prepare peppers: over grill or under broiler, roast peppers until skin is charred, transfer to covered bowl and let cool. Peel, seed and chop finely. Set aside.
  • In 425 degree oven, heat 8 or 9 inch cast-iron skillet while you prepare the batter.
  • Batter: in saucepan, bring milk to boil, stir in prepared peppers. Remove from heat and let stand until at room temperature, beat in egg and melted butter (or oil).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flours, sugar, baking powder, cumin and salt; stir in milk/pepper mixture until just blended.
  • Fold in cheese.
  • Remove heated skillet from oven and grease with a little oil, scrape in batter, smooth top.
  • Return to oven and bake until golden brown on top and bottom, approximately 25 minutes.
  • Let cool in skillet for 10 minutes, with offset spatula, loosen bottom of bread and remove from skillet. Serve warm. Enjoy! .

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Type of Cornmeal: Use a combination of fine and coarse cornmeal for a perfect texture.
  • Use Buttermilk: Buttermilk adds a tangy flavor and helps keep the cornbread moist.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can result in a tough cornbread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Preheat Your Skillet or Pan: This will help create a crispy crust.
  • Use Fresh Jalapenos: Fresh jalapenos provide the best flavor. If you don't have fresh jalapenos, you can use canned or pickled jalapenos, but adjust the amount to taste.
  • Add Cheese Wisely: Use a good quality cheddar cheese. Grating your own cheese is best, as pre-shredded cheese contains additives that can affect the texture of the cornbread.
  • Bake Until a Toothpick Inserted in the Center Comes Out Clean: This ensures that the cornbread is cooked through.

Conclusion:

Jalapeno cheese cornbread is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its slightly spicy and cheesy flavor, it is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. You can customize the recipe to your liking by adjusting the amount of jalapenos and cheese, or by adding other ingredients such as bacon, corn kernels, or chopped green bell peppers. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying side dish, give jalapeno cheese cornbread a try!
