Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or a 2-quart casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy. Add the milk and sour cream, and whisk until well combined.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave, and allow it to cool slightly.
Add the wet ingredients (egg mixture and melted butter) to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined.
Fold in the cream-style corn, diced green chiles, and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the spoon bread is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the spoon bread to cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with an optional pat of butter or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness.
