Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces cornbread mix
- 1 cup milk
- 2 count large eggs
- 6 ounces cooked ham, sliced
- 6 ounces cooked turkey, sliced
- 1.5 cups Swiss cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup raspberry jam
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, prepare the cornbread batter by combining the cornbread mix, milk, and eggs as directed on the package instructions. Set aside.
Heat a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat and melt the butter to coat the bottom and sides of the skillet.
Pour half of the cornbread batter into the skillet and spread it evenly to create the base layer.
Layer the sliced ham evenly on top of the cornbread batter, followed by the sliced turkey, and then sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded Swiss cheese over the meat layers.
Pour the remaining half of the cornbread batter on top of the cheese and spread it gently to cover the layers below.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown and fully set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove the skillet from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before dusting the top with powdered sugar.
Serve warm with a side of raspberry jam for dipping. Slice into wedges for easy serving.
