CALICO CORN BREAD

Steps:

• Pre heat the oven to 375 and spray the baking dish with the Pam.
• In a frying pan sauté the Serrano peppers and red onions for a minute or two on a low heat, you just want to soften them not caramelize them, put in a bowl and set aside.
• Mix the 2 tablespoons melted butter with the egg and whisk briskly, then add the sour cream and mix again.
• Add the 1/3 cup of milk, whisk and add the Jiffy and mix again for only long enough to mix everything, and then let this sit on the counter for 30 minutes.
• Divide the batter in ½.
• In ½ of the batter add the sautéed peppers and onions, mix.
• In the other ½ mix in the cheddar cheese.
• Put the ½ of the cornbread with the pepper mixture into the pan.
• Sprinkle the chopped green onion on the top.
• Put the rest of the cornbread on top, the one with the cheese in it. Carefully spread it around.
• Add a wee bit more cheese to the top and bake for about 55 minutes, baking times will depend on your oven. This is a dense cornbread so baking times will be longer.
