Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan with olive oil or cooking spray, or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and finely chopped rosemary until well combined.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 5–7 minutes, or until softened and lightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs until smooth.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk mixture. Add the sautéed onions and the melted butter (from the skillet) and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it 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 comes out clean.
Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your Rosemary Onion Cornbread warm, either on its own or with a pat of butter!
