Cornbread is always a good idea, right? I love cornbread, corn muffins, cornbread casserole. Really, any kind of cornbread is my friend.
This is a perfect end of summer dish – using up the last of that summer squash. It’s creamy, cheesy, and so delicious. It’s meant to be a side dish, but I have been known to eat it as my whole meal. Especially breakfast. The addition of honey gives it a touch of sweetness, but not overpowering.
Start with 2 1/2 cups grated summer squash. I used yellow summer squash, but have also used zucchini with great success. Mix in some egg, milk, honey, cheese and onion. Fold it into a quick cornbread mixture and top with cheese. That’s it. Pop it in the oven and you will have cornbread deliciousness in under an hour.
This makes a great breakfast, but also tastes great next to BBQ chicken, ribs, or baked beans. I’d love to hear how you serve it.
