BACON AND PEPPER JACK CORNBREAD SWIRLS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Line 9-inch round cake pan with cooking parchment paper. In small bowl, mix melted butter and garlic powder.
• Remove dough from can, and separate into 6 rounds. Unroll each round into dough strip (about 12 inches long); brush inside of each unrolled dough strip, using up half of the melted butter mixture.
• Cut each cheese slice into 4 strips. Top buttered side of dough strip with 4 cheese strips, overlapping slightly if necessary, and leaving 1/2 inch of one end uncovered to seal. Top cheese layer with 2 bacon slices.
• Starting with strip end opposite uncovered end, roll dough back tightly into swirled round, sealing end of dough; place in pan. Repeat for remaining dough, cheese and bacon. Brush tops of dough with remaining melted butter mixture.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until dough is baked through and golden brown.

JALAPENO PEPPER JACK CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425° and butter the sides and bottom of a 9 x 9 inch non-stick baking pan. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, sift together the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, garlic salt and ground cumin.
• Add the shredded pepper-jack cheese, diced jalapeno and sweet onion. Mix until evenly distributed.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, cream corn and melted butter.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix until all of the ingredients are fully moistened.
• Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bounce the pan on the counter a few times to settle the batter and release air bubbles.
• Bake the cornbread for 30 minutes until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center shows moist crumbs. Rest for 10 minutes before serving.

PEPPER-JACK CORNBREAD STICKS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Set 2 cast-iron cornbread-stick pans (see Note) in the top-third of oven until hot, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine all ingredients except butter. Stir until batter just comes together; do not overmix.
• Carefully remove pans from oven and brush each cornbread-stick mold with butter. Fill each mold with about 2 tablespoons batter. Bake until sticks are golden and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove pans from oven and, using a sharp knife, release sticks. Serve warm with additional butter.

SKILLET CORNBREAD PUDDING WITH HAM AND PEPPER JACK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the corn, scallions, ham, garlic, and chili powder. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the scallions are soft, about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, lightly beat the eggs in a large bowl and stir in the half-and-half, cheese, basil, salt, and pepper, to taste.
• Pull the skillet from the heat. Stir the cornbread stuffing and sugar into the skillet. Pour the egg mixture over and stir gently to distribute all the ingredients evenly. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until lightly puffed and golden, about 30 minutes. Serve warm.
