caramelized onion and goat cheese cornbread

Let me just get the obvious out of the way: this is no proper Southern cornbread. Please, do not bring it to a North Carolina or Texas barbecue dinner, they’ll be horrified by the presence of sugar and honestly, at that point, it may be in your best interest to not even bring up the goat cheese within.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (6 ounces) coarse cornmeal (also packaged as “polenta”) but regular old cornmeal will also work.
  • 2 cups (16 ounces) buttermilk
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons oil, butter or a combination thereof
  • 1 cup onion in a 3/4-inch dice (I think you could also go up to 2 cups, if you’re really into the caramelized onion thing)

  • 1/4 teaspoon (.05 ounce) baking soda

  • 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) unsalted butter, mleted
