Cheesy Onion Cornbread
Ingredients:
– 1 cup cornmeal
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 2 large eggs
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 tablespoon honey
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 large onion, thinly sliced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and sauté until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside to cool.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and honey until well combined.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and the caramelized onions, reserving a small amount of each for topping the bread.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Top with the reserved cheese and onions.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Once baked, remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes before cutting it into squares.
