Yield Serves 8-12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
6 ounces Manchego cheese, grated
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons pickled sliced jalapeño peppers
1 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease an 8-inch-square baking pan. Combine the cornmeal, flour, 4 ounces of the grated Manchego, the sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Mince 1 tablespoon of the jalapeños and combine it with the milk, oil, and eggs in a small bowl; mix well. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir just until blended. Pour into the prepared pan.
  • Lay the remaining jalapeño slices on top of the batter approximately 3 inches apart (the idea is for each piece of cornbread to get a slice of jalapeño on top) and sprinkle with the remaining 2 ounces of Manchego. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into center comes out clean. Serve warm.

"Spicy, cheesy, and moist! I love this cornbread for dinner on a warm summer night, whether with barbecued meats or just a big old salad. If you don't have Manchego, you can substitute cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Gouda." Modified from Epicurious June '09, credited to Karen Busen.
