Ingredients

• 250 grams cornmeal
• 100 grams all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 250 milliliters milk
• 60 milliliters olive oil
• 2 large eggs
• 150 grams feta cheese, crumbled
• 50 grams grated kefalotyri or Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch round or square baking dish with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk together to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, olive oil, and eggs until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until the batter is just combined.

Step 5

Fold in the crumbled feta cheese and the grated kefalotyri or Parmesan cheese. Ensure the cheese is evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature as a snack or side dish.
