SPINACH SPOONBREAD image

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing the dish
10 ounces baby spinach
3 cups buttermilk
3 large eggs, separated
1 cup medium-grind yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
Scant 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of freshly ground white pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350° and butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish or very large enameled cast-iron skillet. In a saucepan of boiling water, cook the spinach just until wilted, about 30 seconds. Drain and cool under running water, then squeeze out as much water as possible. Finely chop the spinach. 2. In a large bowl, whisk the buttermilk with the egg yolks, cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, white pepper and the 3 tablespoons of melted butter. Fold in the chopped spinach. 3. In a clean bowl, using a handheld electric mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Fold the whites into the batter and scrape it into the prepared baking dish. 4. Bake the spoon bread in the center of the oven for about 45 minutes, until golden. Let cool slightly, then serve. Make Ahead The spoon bread can be made earlier in the day and kept at room temperature; reheat in a 325° oven.

This spinach spoonbread was a hit! I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. It was light and fluffy, with a delicious cheesy flavor. I served it with a side of roasted vegetables and it was a complete meal.
