CHEESY BACON JALAPENO SKILLET CORNBREAD



Cheesy Bacon Jalapeno Skillet Cornbread image

After some trial and error, this is by far my favorite cornbread recipe. It's spicy, moist, and the cast iron skillet gives it a lovely crispy brown crust, plus bacon! Also I love that it doesn't use buttermilk because I hate buying it just for cornbread. And it's gluten-free.

Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 slices bacon
3 jalapeno peppers, minced
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup skim milk
¾ cup gluten-free flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs
¼ cup butter, melted
1 cup shredded pepperjack cheese, divided
5 green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Place bacon in a cast iron skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels, reserving bacon grease in the skillet. Spread the grease up the sides of the skillet using a paper towel.
  • Cook jalapeno peppers in the bacon grease over medium heat until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine cornmeal and skim milk together in a bowl; let sit until some of the liquid is absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Mix eggs and butter into cornmeal mixture; stir into flour mixture just until batter is moist. Fold jalapeno peppers, 1/2 cup pepperjack cheese, and green onions into batter. Pour batter into the cast iron skillet; crumble bacon over top and sprinkle remaining cheese over bacon.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 18 minutes.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tablespoons butter
2 cups stone-ground yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 large eggs
2 cups low-fat buttermilk
1 medium pickled jalapeno chile, minced (about 2 tablespoons)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Put butter in a 9-inch cast-iron skillet; place in oven until butter is melted and pan is heated through, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk cornmeal, sugar, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and buttermilk.
  • Carefully remove hot skillet from oven; immediately pour butter into the buttermilk mixture, and whisk to combine. Using a pastry brush, coat bottom and sides of pan with remaining butter.
  • Stir cornmeal mixture into buttermilk mixture until just moistened. Stir in jalapeno. Scrape batter into hot skillet; bake until golden, about 25 minutes. Let cool at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips:

  • For a spicier cornbread, use more jalapeños or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be sure to preheat your skillet over medium heat before adding the cornbread batter. This will help create a crispy crust.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cornbread tough.
  • Bake the cornbread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cornbread cool for a few minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Skillet cornbread with jalapeños is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy bread recipe, give this one a try.
