Rosemary Cheddar Cornbread
Description
This cornbread uses a blend of cornmeal and all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt for structure and leavening. Butter and sugar incorporate moisture and slight sweetness. Greek yogurt and milk add richness and tender crumb, while eggs bind ingredients. Sharp cheddar cheese adds bold flavor with melted pockets throughout and on top, where about half is reserved as a topping. Chopped fresh or dried rosemary introduces an herbal note that complements the cheese.
Baking in a preheated 9-inch cast iron skillet ensures a crispy bottom and edges with a soft, moist interior. The high temperature promotes browning and cheese melting over 25-28 minutes. Cooling briefly before slicing helps the bread set for clean cuts.
This savory cornbread works well alongside chili, soups, or salads, adding a flavorful bread element to meals. The rosemary and cheddar together give a distinctive taste that differentiates it from basic cornbreads.
