Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan with 1 tablespoon of butter and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk the buttermilk, melted butter, and large egg until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Fold in the diced ham, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out 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 of the cornbread comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the cornbread cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Ham and Cheese Cornbread Supreme as a savory side dish or a meal on its own.
