Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use sharp cheddar cheese. You can also use a combination of cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- To make sure the cornbread pie is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the pie is done.
- Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.
- Serve the pie with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
