Let me tell you a story, kinda funny actually. Last summer, I tried growing jalapeños in my tiny apartment garden. I envisioned myself whipping up batches of salsa and adding a little zest to everything. Well, those jalapeños grew alright – they exploded! I had more jalapeños than I knew what to do with. After giving away bags of them to neighbors and friends, I had to get creative. That's how this Jalapeño Cornbread Quiche was born. I needed something… different. Something that could handle a serious amount of heat, but also be incredibly satisfying. Turns out, the spicy kick pairs perfectly with the sweetness of honey butter. Who knew!?

This quiche boasts a hearty cornbread base studded with fiery jalapeños. The creamy egg filling is infused with cheddar cheese and a hint of sweetness, creating a balanced flavor profile that will tantalize your taste buds. And then, there's the honey butter. Oh, the honey butter! A drizzle of this golden elixir transforms this quiche from savory to sublime, making it an unforgettable experience.

🍽 Ingredients

📖 Instructions

  1. Alright, let's get started! First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This is crucial to ensure that the cornbread base cooks evenly and the quiche sets properly. Don't skip this step!
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornbread mix, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Make sure there aren't any clumps. We're aiming for a smooth, even texture.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, milk, melted butter, and sour cream. Whisk until well combined. This mixture is what will give our quiche that creamy, decadent texture.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Be careful not to overmix! Overmixing can lead to a tough cornbread. Just mix until everything is *just* combined.
  5. Stir in the diced jalapeños and shredded cheddar cheese. I like to use a mix of mild and sharp cheddar for a more complex flavor, but you do you!
  6. Grease a 9-inch pie plate or cast iron skillet. Pour the cornbread mixture into the prepared pan. Spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cornbread should be golden brown and slightly puffed up. Keep an eye on it, as oven temperatures can vary!
  8. While the quiche is baking, let's make the honey butter. In a small bowl, cream together the softened butter and honey until light and fluffy. A hand mixer works best for this, but you can also use a fork if you're feeling ambitious.
  9. Once the quiche is done, let it cool slightly before slicing. Drizzle generously with the honey butter. And there it is – a Jalapeño Cornbread Quiche that's sure to wow! I messed up the last time I made it. I completely forgot to add the jalapeños so don't be me, haha!

📝 Notes

  • For a spicier kick, use serrano peppers instead of jalapeños.
  • Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cornbread batter for extra heat.
  • Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream or guacamole.
