Elevate your cornbread game with this irresistible Parmesan Corn Bread Pie, a savory twist on a classic comfort food! This golden, rustic dish combines the crumbly texture of yellow cornmeal with the rich, nutty goodness of Parmesan cheese for a flavor-packed side or standalone snack. With only 15 minutes of prep time, this easy recipe uses pantry staples like all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a touch of sugar, while melted butter and eggs add moisture and depth. A sprinkling of Parmesan on top forms a lightly crisp, cheesy crust, and a garnish of fresh parsley adds a pop of color and freshness. Perfect as a side for soups, stews, or chili, this corn bread pie can be baked in just 25 minutes, making it the ultimate quick and satisfying dish for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, and eggs. Whisk until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
Fold in 3/4 cup of the grated Parmesan cheese, reserving 1/4 cup for topping.
Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Sprinkle the reserved 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese evenly over the batter.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before slicing.
Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
