Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup roasted green chiles, diced
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup fresh corn kernels (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or an 8-inch cast-iron skillet.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and eggs until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 5
Gently fold in the diced green chiles, shredded cheddar cheese, and corn kernels (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the cornbread cool in the dish/skillet for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Step 9
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite soup or chili.
