SWEET CHEESY JALAPENO CORNBREAD

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 475 degrees. NOTE: I use cast iron to bake my cornbread. I add oil to the bottom of the pan, sprinkle a little cornmeal in pan and put in the oven while it's preheating. I then mix up my batter. Once the cornmeal start to brown, it's time to pour the cornbread batter into the pan. It should sizzle like it's frying once the batter hits the hot pan.
• 2. In a medium size mixing bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients. Add eggs, buttermilk and EVOO; mix well by hand.
• 3. Stir in jalapeno peppers and cheese. NOTE: When working with any HOT pepper, wear gloves. Never handle hot pepper with your bare hands and then put hands around you face and eyes.
• 4. Pour into hot cast iron skillet. Bake 13 to 15 minutes until a nice golden brown. This recipe made one 10-inch skillet AND one 8-wedge cornbread skillet.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Place bacon in a cast iron skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels, reserving bacon grease in the skillet. Spread the grease up the sides of the skillet using a paper towel.
• Cook jalapeno peppers in the bacon grease over medium heat until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
• Combine cornmeal and skim milk together in a bowl; let sit until some of the liquid is absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Mix eggs and butter into cornmeal mixture; stir into flour mixture just until batter is moist. Fold jalapeno peppers, 1/2 cup pepperjack cheese, and green onions into batter. Pour batter into the cast iron skillet; crumble bacon over top and sprinkle remaining cheese over bacon.

CHEESY JALAPEÑO CORNBREAD

Steps:

Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a measuring cup, combine buttermilk, egg yolks and jalapeno pepper and beat well. Pour over cornmeal mixture and pulse just until blended. In a mixer on high speed, beat egg whites with ¼ tsp. baking soda, dissolved in 1 Tbsp. water until stiff peaks form. Fold in cheese. Fold in cornmeal mixture and spoon into prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven until top is golden and springs back, about 25 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Serve warm.
