Cheesy Corn Bread - Mark Bittman

The basic cornbread recipe, I used, is from Mark Bittman but I expanded upon it by turning it, into a glorious cheesy broccoli quick bread.  Cornbread is an easy dish to make and with a salad, is fulfilling.  Of course, it can be served with a meal, or for breakfast.  Also, as Mr. Bittman demonstrates, the variations seem endless.

Cheesy  Cornbread:  (Adapted from Mark Bittman)  (gluten-free)

Ingredients:
  • 4 tablespoons  olive oil

  • 1 1/2 cups cornmeal

  • 1/2 cup brown rice flour mixture

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 1/4 cups milk, more if needed

  • 2 sautéed shallots

  • 10 ounces frozen broccoli

  • 1 cup shredded cheese  (Monterey Jack)

Method:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  In small skillet, with one tablespoon of oil, cook shallots for 4 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine dry ingredients in a bowl. Mix eggs into milk, then stir this mixture into dry ingredients, combining with a few swift strokes. If mixture seems dry, add another tablespoon or two of milk.

Add broccoli, shallots and cheese to batter.

Pour batter into 8 inch square baking pan and smooth out top.  Bake about 30 minutes, until top is lightly browned and sides have pulled away from pan; a toothpick inserted into center will come out clean. Serve hot or warm.

This is a delicious corn bread and fun to play around with.  I have visions of variations, for the future.
