Skillet Cornbread with Fresh Roasted Corn
2014-09-25 10:14:50
This recipe is one of our favorites from the Big Green Egg cookbook! No need to pack up your grill for the season - fall and winter are some of the best times to fire up your EGG! And because it works just like a convection oven, it bakes a pan of cornbread just as well as it grills a steak or smokes a rack of ribs!
Take the old-fashioned Southern route by baking this cornbread in a well-seasoned iron skillet. You can also use a baking dish or muffin pan (without paper liners); just be sure to adjust the cooking time. This recipe includes fresh roasted yellow corn and heavy cream, producing a very rich and moist cornbread. Though it can be served alongside any number of dishes, we love it with a piping hot bowl of chili or vegetable soup while watching the game.
