Tips:

  • To achieve a smooth and lump-free batter, whisk together dry ingredients in a separate bowl before gradually incorporating them into the wet ingredients. This method ensures even distribution and prevents lumps.
  • For an extra cheesy experience, consider using a combination of sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Parmesan cheese. You can adjust the proportions to suit your personal preference.
  • Incorporate chopped green chiles, diced tomatoes, or roasted corn into the batter for added flavor and texture. These ingredients will add a vibrant touch to your spoon bread.
  • To create a crispy crust, preheat a cast iron skillet over medium heat before pouring in the batter. This step helps to brown the bottom of the spoon bread and add a delightful crunch.
  • For optimal results, use freshly grated cheese. Pre-shredded cheese often contains additives that can affect the melting properties and overall texture of the dish.
