Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams cornmeal
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 250 milliliters milk
- 60 milliliters olive oil
- 2 large eggs
- 150 grams feta cheese, crumbled
- 50 grams grated kefalotyri or Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch round or square baking dish with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk together to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, olive oil, and eggs until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until the batter is just combined.
Fold in the crumbled feta cheese and the grated kefalotyri or Parmesan cheese. Ensure the cheese is 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 a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature as a snack or side dish.
