About Johnny cake and cheese

Johnny Cake and Cheese is a simple yet hearty dish with roots in Caribbean and Southern American cuisine. Johnny Cakes, also known as journey cakes, are flatbreads made from a mixture of cornmeal, water, and salt, often enriched with butter or milk for added flavor. They are cooked on a griddle until golden and slightly crispy. When paired with cheese, typically a sharp or tangy variety, the result is a satisfying blend of savory and creamy textures. Rich in carbohydrates from the cornmeal and protein from the cheese, it provides a quick source of energy, making it a staple comfort food. However, the dish can be high in sodium and saturated fats, depending on the type of cheese and preparation. For a healthier option, using low-fat cheese and whole-grain cornmeal can balance nutrition while preserving its traditional flavor.
