Golden, cheesy cornmeal bites that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, perfect as a snack, side dish, or brunch item.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cornmeal (fine or medium grind)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1–2 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (parsley or chives, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin or mini muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, mix cornmeal, baking powder, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and melted butter until combined.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until combined. Fold in herbs if using.
  5. Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Let cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool slightly.

Notes

  • Add grated zucchini or corn kernels for extra moisture and flavor.
  • Stir in cayenne or jalapeños for a spicy kick.
  • Try swapping Parmesan with cheddar or feta cheese.
  • Store in an airtight container or freeze for later use.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature with soups or dips.
