Jalapeño and Cheddar Spoon Bread
Description
This recipe combines flour, cornmeal, sugar, and leavening agents blended with milk, eggs, and melted butter to create a batter rather than a traditional dough. Incorporating sharp cheddar, jalapeños, and sliced green onions into the mixture adds flavor and a touch of heat.
Baked in an 8-inch dish, the spoon bread sets with a soft, custard-like texture. Once baked, it is served with a drizzle of honey, fresh green onion slices, and sea salt flakes that balance the spice and savory cheese with sweet and salty notes.
Leftover spoon bread can be stored in the refrigerator and gently reheated in the oven or microwave to restore warmth without drying it out, maintaining the soft texture that distinguishes this dish.
