Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams fine cornmeal
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 80 milliliters extra virgin olive oil
- 200 grams plain Greek yogurt
- 150 milliliters milk
- 2 large eggs
- 100 grams feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan with olive oil, or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Greek yogurt, milk, and eggs until smooth and creamy.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the crumbled feta cheese and chopped dill (if using) to incorporate evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out into an even layer with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cornbread from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice into squares or wedges and serve warm or at room temperature. Great as a snack or side dish!
