Description

A delicious and hearty cheddar broccoli cornmeal bake that’s perfect for any meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter (melted, plus extra for greasing)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/3 Cups buttermilk
  • 1 1/3 Cups milk
  • 2 Cups yellow cornmeal (preferably stone-ground)
  • 2 Cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Cup Cheddar cheese (grated)
  • 1 Cup Broccoli (pulsed in food processor or diced finely)
  • ½ Cup onion
  • 4 Teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 Teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9X13 baking dish with butter.
  2. Beat eggs in a bowl and whisk in milk and buttermilk, broccoli, onion, and cheese.
  3. Whisk cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt together in a bowl. Put the dry ingredients up the sides of the bowl to make a well, then pour the egg and milk mixture into it. Stir with a whisk until combined and then stir in the butter.
  4. Pour the batter into the baking dish. Put in the oven and bake until the top is golden brown and the edges are starting to pull away from the side. This will take about 30-40 minutes.
  5. Put the baking pan on a wire rack to cool. This will take about 1 hour.
  6. Don’t forget to add your favorite toppings such as butter or honey.
