Broccoli Cornbread Recipe

This Broccoli Cornbread combines classic cornbread mix with tender broccoli, diced onion, and sharp cheddar cheese to create a moist and flavorful baked dish. Spiced with garlic powder, paprika, and salt, the cornbread contains cheese both inside and sprinkled on top, producing a golden crust and a rich, savory flavor that complement the vegetable inclusions.

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.
