Broccoli Cornbread Recipe
Description
The recipe uses prepared cornbread mix blended with eggs, sour cream, melted butter, and seasonings including garlic powder, paprika, and salt to form a smooth batter. Cut broccoli florets and diced onion are folded into the mix along with most of the cheddar cheese. The batter is poured into a greased baking dish, topped with remaining cheese, and baked at 375°F until golden brown and cooked through, confirmed by a clean toothpick. Cooling before slicing allows the texture to set. The broccoli adds moisture and a fresh vegetable taste, while the cheese enhances richness and flavor. The final dish has a soft crumb with a slightly crisp cheesy top and savory notes from the spices.
This cornbread works well as a side dish to hearty mains or a savory snack.
Ingredients
- 17 ounces cornbread mix (2 - 8.5 oz boxes)
- 4 large egg

- 12 ounces broccoli thawed, frozen

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornbread mix, eggs, sour cream, melted butter, garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Whisk until smooth.
- Cut the largest broccoli florets in half. Add the broccoli, diced onion, and 1 1/4 cups shredded cheese to the cornbread mixture. Stir until well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining 3/4 cup shredded cheese over the top.
- Bake for approximately 40 minutes, until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before cutting to serve.
