CHEDDAR DILL CORNBREAD (INA GARTEN) ( BAREFOOT CONTESSA)



Cheddar Dill Cornbread (Ina Garten) ( Barefoot Contessa) image

A recipe from Ina Garten the Barefoot Contessa from the Food Network. I watched the show and had to save this recipe for safekeeping as it looks like the perfect accompaniment to soup, salad, meat or poultry dishes. It is less harsh than her jalepeno version. It looks great. It was on her Potluck episode in which she makes this and takes it to a friend. Prep time includes letting it sit at room temp per her instructions. Yum. Enjoy. ChefDLH

2 cups milk
3 extra large eggs, Lightly Beaten
1/2 lb unsalted butter, Melted (Plus Extra To Grease The Pan)

3 tablespoons fresh jalapenos, Seeded And Minced

  • Mix in 2 cups of the grated Cheddar, the scallions and jalapenos, and allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.

  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool and cut into large squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • To ensure the cornbread is moist and flavorful, use fresh corn kernels. If fresh corn is unavailable, frozen or canned corn can be substituted.
  • Use buttermilk instead of regular milk in the batter. Buttermilk adds a tangy flavor and helps make the cornbread light and fluffy.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cornbread.
  • Bake the cornbread in a hot oven. This will help create a crispy crust and a light, fluffy interior.
  • Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the bread to set.
