Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1 fresh jalapeno (remove seeds for less spicy)
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix
- 1/3 cup milk (I use almond milk)
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Add cheddar cheese and chopped jalapeno to the corn muffin mix ( I chop my jalapeno into a small dice)
- Using a baking dish or cast iron skillet, place 4 tblsp of butter in the center of dish and place in cold oven
- Preheat oven to 400F and allow the butter to melt as the oven comes up to temperature
- Once your butter has melted, remove from oven. Swirl butter around dish to coat the bottom and sides of pan
- Once the butter has cooled enough that it will not cook the egg, mix the egg, milk and butter together
- Then add these wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Blend well. Pour into your pan or skillet.
- Bake 20-25 minutes.
