Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.75 cup Blue cheese crumbles
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease or line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and eggs until smooth.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
Fold in the blue cheese crumbles until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the corn bread to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing into squares.
Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh chives before serving for a pop of color and extra flavor.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
