How to Make Best Cornbread Ever

  3. In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, milk, oil, and cottage cheese. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Optional: Stir in your choice of add-ins (see recipe notes for suggestions).
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cornbread cool in the pan for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
