Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups self-rising buttermilk cornbread mix
1/2 cup chopped sweet onion, such as Vidalia
10 ounces pepper Jack cheese, grated
8 ounces fresh broccoli florets, chopped (about 2 cups)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
1 cup sour cream
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Pour the vegetable oil in a 9-inch cast-iron skillet that has been well seasoned to prevent sticking.
  • Combine the cornbread mix, onion, cheese, broccoli, black pepper and jalapeno in a large bowl. Stir in the sour cream, buttermilk and melted butter to make a thick batter.
  • Heat the oil in the skillet over medium heat until hot and shimmering. Spoon in the batter, spreading it to the edges. The oil will come up around the edges of the batter. Spread it over the top of the batter. (During the baking process the oil will help brown the bread.)
  • Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, and then carefully loosen the edges and bottom with an egg turner or large spatula and turn onto a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

BROCCOLI CORNBREAD WITH CHEESE



BROCCOLI CORNBREAD WITH CHEESE image

Categories     Bread     Cheese     Side     Bake     Broccoli

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup cottage cheese
3/4 cup butter, melted
4 eggs
2 (8.5-ounce) packages corn muffin mix
1 (10-ounch) package frozen chopped broccoli,
thawed (drain broccoli well and squeeze it dry
with paper towels)
1 large onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
(corn muffin ix is slightly sweet, so if you'd like
your bread a little less so, go with an extra-
sharp cheddar)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat over to 375. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. 2. Beat cottage cheese, butter and eggs in a large bowl. Stir corn muffin mix into butter mixture until just moistened. Fold in broccoli, onion, and 1 cup cheddar cheese. Pour batter into prepared baking dish and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese. 3. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm. *May puff and pull away from the sides of the pan after 35 minutes but will need additional 10 minutes to cook in the center.

Tips:

  • Fresh ingredients always yield a tastier result, so use freshly grated corn if possible.
  • If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to a cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the cornbread, as this will help it rise evenly.
  • For a crispy crust, bake the cornbread in a cast-iron skillet.
  • If you like your cornbread sweet, add a teaspoon or two of sugar to the batter.
  • For a savory cornbread, add a teaspoon or two of chopped jalapeño pepper or crumbled bacon to the batter.
  • Cornbread is best served warm, but it can also be stored at room temperature for a few days or frozen for up to a month.

Conclusion:

Broccoli cornbread is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new side dish or main course, give broccoli cornbread a try!
