Upside Down Cheesy Onion Cornbread Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Cut onion into 5 (1/2-inch thick) rings; keep rings intact.
• In 10-inch cast-iron skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Gently place onion slices close together in the butter. If last ring looks too large to fit in skillet, remove outside rings until small enough to fit. Sprinkle with salt, and cook 3 to 4 minutes without moving, until onions soften but don't fall apart. Remove from heat. With large, flat spatula, gently turn onions, keeping rings together as much as possible.
• In large bowl, mix both pouches cornbread mix, eggs and milk. Stir in cheeses and herbs.
• Pour batter over onions. Bake 28 to 32 minutes or until golden brown and toothpick inserted in center of cornbread comes out clean.
• Run knife around edge of cornbread. Let cornbread cool 10 minutes.
• Place a plate over skillet, and carefully flip over. Remove skillet. Cut into 8 wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190°C/275°F/gas mark 5. Grease a 900g (2lb) loaf tin and set aside. Fry the onion gently for 10-15 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and leave to cool.
• Place the maize meal, rice flour, soya flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl and mix well. Stir in the cheese. In a small bowl, beat together the milk, eggs, and melted butter, then add to the flour mixture, stirring to mix well.
• Reserve about 1 tablespoon of the cooked onions. Stir the remaining onions into the bread mixture. Transfer the mixture to the loaf tin and level the surface. Sprinkle the reserved onions over the top.
• Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the loaf is risen and golden brown. Turn out and cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or cold in slices.
