Ingredients

  • ½ white onion diced
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • cup milk
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ½ teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.

    1 cup diced ham, 17 ounces Jiffy corn muffin mix, 2 large eggs, ⅔ cup milk, ¼ cup sour cream, ½ teaspoon ground paprika, 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Place into the center rack of the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.
  • Garnish with chives and enjoy!

Notes

  • The cornbread is cooked when the edges are golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  • Make this recipe vegetarian by simply omitting the ham.
  • If making ahead of time, let the cornbread cool completely before storing it.
  • To reheat, place in a t 300°F oven for 10-15 minutes, until warmed through.
