Pepper Jack Skillet Cornbread Food

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 SKILLET CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F with a 10-inch cast iron skillet inside. In a large bowl, combine the cornbread mix, sour cream, milk, egg and pepper jack cheese. Whisk until combined.
• Remove the skillet from the oven and melt butter. Pour batter into the hot skillet spreading evenly with a spatula (butter may pool around edges.)
• Bake for 15-20 minutes until the center is done and the edges are crispy.

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.
