How to Make Jiffy Roasted Corn And Jalapeno Cornbread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. Melt butter in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and red pepper; sauté for 3-5 minutes, until softened.
  4. Add roasted corn to the pan and sauté for another 2-3 minutes, until some kernels start to brown.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, corn liquid, and sour cream (or heavy cream).
  6. Add the Jiffy corn muffin mix to the wet ingredients and stir with a fork until just combined.
  7. Stir in diced jalapeños and cheddar cheese.
  8. Gently fold in the hot sautéed corn and vegetable mixture.
  9. Pour batter into the prepared 8x8 inch baking dish.
  10. Bake for 15 minutes.
  11. Remove from oven; drizzle evenly with honey.
  12. Return to oven and bake for another 5 minutes.
  13. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting and serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
