How to Make Feta Cheese Cornbread

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese, 1/2 cup sour cream, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Let the batter rest, covered, for 15 minutes.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the cornbread is golden brown.
