Here's an easy recipe for gluten-free cheesy herb cornbread, baked in a skillet. Customize it by adding your favourite herbs and cheese!
This gluten-free cheesy herb cornbread makes a perfect addition to a casual meal. It's quick and easy because . . . I "cheat" and use a mix, and then just add my own herbs and cheese and bake it in a cast iron pan.
Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free Cornbread Mix is a favourite of mine because it never fails. Make it dairy-free by using rice milk or almond milk, oil instead of butter, and a sheep's cheese like Pecorino or Manchego instead of a cow's milk cheese like Parmesan Reggiano or cheddar.
Add in your favourite herbs. I used Italian-style herbs like oregano, rosemary, thyme and parsley. Bake it right in a skillet in the oven and savour the hearty tastes of the American South!
I've also added dill to this gluten-free cornbread on other occasions to accompany a salmon dinner. Get creative and mix in YOUR favourite additions to this easy mix.
Cornbread muffins are fun to bake, too. These Blueberry Buttermilk Gluten-Free Cornbread Muffins are a favourite for Thanksgiving or any fall morning!
