Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup canned creamed corn
- 1 cup fresh or frozen sweet corn kernels, thawed if frozen
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch baking dish (or similar casserole dish) with butter or nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and eggs until smooth. Stir in the creamed corn and sweet corn kernels.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out moist but not wet.
Remove from the oven and let the spoon bread rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh chives, if desired, and serve warm with a spoon straight from the dish. Enjoy!
