The sweet corn really lifts the rich buttery notes and makes them sing. Pair that with a texture that is both creamy and fluffy, and you have got to try this corn spoon bread recipe, and soon!
What is Spoonbread?
If you find yourself asking, “What is spoonbread?”, then you’re in the right place. I’m new to this dish, but I’ve eaten corn pudding and cornbread my whole life. This version is kind of like a cross between the two.
It’s soft and slightly custardy, and you won’t believe how moist it is. Because of that, it’s served with a spoon, which gives it the name “spoon bread”. Yes, it’s that simple.
Now, my spoonbread recipe is fairly straightforward. Because of this, it pairs beautifully with many hearty meals. I love serving it alongside a spicy chili, whether it’s white chicken chili or a more traditional chili with ground beef.
There are endless variations to this recipe for spoonbread, though. Some people like to add shredded cheese, chopped jalapenos, or even a blend of fresh herbs.
