How to Make Spoon Bread A La Scharf Family
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Butter a 2-quart baking dish.
- Melt 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and sauté for 15 minutes, until golden brown.
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups fine cornmeal and gradually add 1 1/2 cups hot water, stirring until the cornmeal is moistened but not soggy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large eggs.
- Add the whisked eggs to the cornmeal mixture.
- Stir in the sautéed onions with their butter, 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon sugar.
- Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
- If the batter appears too dry, add 2 more tablespoons of butter or a little extra sour cream until desired consistency is reached.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, cover, and bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove the cover and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crusty. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- Spoon bread should be brown and crusty on the outside, with a soft and creamy interior.
- Serve warm with sugar, sour cream, and cottage cheese (sweet) or additional black pepper and salt (savory).
- Enjoy!
