Jalapeño Popper Cornbread

With Whipped Cream Cheese Butter

Just like jalapeño poppers, this cornbread is loaded with spicy jalapeño, smoky bacon and melted cheddar and filled with a whipped cream cheese butter.

Main Ingredients

Bacon Cornmeal Flour Sugar Baking soda Salt Eggs Sour cream Buttermilk Butter Jalapeño Cheddar Cream cheese

1

Add bacon to a skillet and turn the heat to medium. Cook the bacon until the fat renders and turns brown. Move to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.

2

Stir together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, buttermilk and melted butter until it's smooth. Stir in the dry ingredients just until combined.

3

Now add the cooked bacon, chopped jalapeño and shredded cheddar. Gently fold in the ingredients until combined. 

4

Add butter to a hot cast-iron skillet. Pour in the batter once the butter melts and top with slices of fresh jalapeños. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean.

5

To make the whipped cream cheese butter, simply beat together softened butter and cream cheese until it's nice and fluffy.

For a fun twist on classic comfort food, you'll love this jalapeno popper cornbread! It's the perfect addition to all your chili recipes.

Is there a better combination of flavours than jalapeno, bacon, and cheddar? No there is not. Delicious and moist, and that ribbon of whipped cream cheese? Yes please. Delish.
