So at around ten o'clock last night I got me a hankering for some cornbread. As I reached into the fridge I suddenly realized I had a ton of broccoli that did not have too much time left. What was I to do? Eat a bunch of crappy broccoli and not get my cornbread? Fuck no. We are going to make a jazzed up cornbread that will appear healthy, taste great, and look bizarre. This is the perfect dish to take to your lame ass summer potluck, loser. Let's begin:
Start by preheating your oven to 400 deg. Roast 2-3c of broccoli florets for five minutes and then pulse the shit of out them in a food processor. Make eight strips of
bacon. When finished cooking the bacon, toss a diced shallot into the drippings, stir, and remove from heat. If you do not have a shallot, and you don't, use 1/2 an
onion, preferably red. Grate a shitload of cheddar cheese.
In a large bowl mix 1c flour, 1c yellow cornmeal, and 4tsp baking powder. In a smaller bowl beat 4 eggs and then pour into the cornmeal mixture. You should end up with some crappy looking shit as seen above. But that is okay because the next thing we add is a stick of butter.
Mix in your melted stick of butter, the shallot (including the drippings, don't be a sissy), the cheddar, and the broccoli. Add them one at a time, genius. Form into the P
yrex with the back of a wooden spoon
Bake at 400 deg for 25 minutes and there you have it. This was actually the fucking shit so I would highly suggest making this for your idiot friends. The only thing I would change is the amount of bacon. We all know which direction that would be. Eat it.

I make broccoli and cheddar muffins very similar to this. They're fucking awesome.
Muffin pans work out better for me anyway. Pyrex hates me.
Muffins are an excellent idea!
Whenever ALN gives any sort of positive response, I want to dance and sing. With bacon and beer.
Shut up!
First broccoli in corn bread. Second I know you are not from the south for a major reason. No cast iron. Every one knows that corn bread is made in cast iron. You had two saving graces here. You did not put sugar in that corn bread. And you added bacon. But I still love you any way. :)
I am originally from DC and don't forget it! I have a cast iron (which you would know if you read through my past recipes - see blackened catfish and eat it) but alas it is not big enough to support cornbread. Finally, I thank God every day that I am not from the south.
I read it 3 times and I don't see where you said what to do with the bacon. I ASSume you chopped it up and added it when you added the cheese?
Bingo.
