TRIPLE CORN QUICK BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.

• Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Toss in the cheese with your hands.
• Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter.
• In a second bowl, mix together the milk, melted butter, egg, and creamed corn. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and then stir in the sauteed corn and jalapeno until combined. Pour into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before turning out.

NEELY'S GARLIC CHEESE BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Slice the bread in half, lengthwise.
• Add the garlic, herbs, butter, and Parmesan to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until well incorporated. Alternatively, you could fold the ingredients together using a rubber spatula.
• Spread the butter mixture down the inner length of both slices of the bread. Wrap the pieces in aluminum foil and put them onto a sheet tray. Bake until the bread crisps up and the cheese melts, about 10 minutes. At this point, remove the foil, sprinkle the slices with the mozzarella cheese and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Slide the bread back into oven until the cheese bubbles, about 5 minutes. Remove the bread from the oven to a cutting board and slice before serving.
