Cheesy Sausage and Jalapeno Cornbread Calzone
10 min prep ~ 20 min cook Serves 4
This recipe makes 1 larger cornbread calzone, or up to 4 smaller ones, depending on the size of your cast iron skillets.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Flour
- 1/2 cup Cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1/4 cup Melted Butter
- 2 Eggs
- 1/4 cup juice from pickled jalapenos
- 1/4 cup Honey
- 1 cup cooked Italian sausage
- 1/2 cup diced pickled jalapenos
- 7 ounces Old Croc Sharp Cheddar shredded
Directions
- Put the skillets in the oven on a baking sheet and set it to 425 to preheat.
- Mix the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl and add salt. Stir to combine.
- Mix the buttermilk, butter, eggs, jalapeno juice, and honey in a measuring cup and stir well.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until combined.
- Remove the skillets from the oven and spray with nonstick spray.
- Pour in some of the cornbread batter, then add cheese, sausage, jalapenos, and more cheese. Press the mixture to help it sink into the cornbread. Cover with more cornbread batter.
- Return the pan to the oven and cook for about 17 – 20 minutes, depending on the size of your skillets.
- The breads are done when they are starting to brown on top and feel firm to the touch.
To serve, first run a knife around the outside of the pan to loosen the edges, then flip the calzone out onto a plate. Top with butter and honey and serve.
