  • NOTE:-
  • Monterey Jack cheese is not available in all countries, but a little research tells me that Mozzarella or Gouda are a good substitute

Directions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, soda, salt & cayenne pepper
  2. Mix together the oil, buttermilk & egg
  3. Stir into the cornmeal mixture just until combined
  4. Fold in the corn, cheese, bell pepper, green onions, cilantro & chili pepper
  5. Pre-heat a heavy duty frying pan ( cast iron is great) at medium/high heat for about 5 mins.
  6. Drop batter onto pan by 1/4 cupfuls
  7. Cook 3 - 4 mins or until golden, turning after half the cooking time
  8. Repeat with remaining batter

Although I am sure we don't have Monterey Jack Cheede over here, this sounds wonderful. I'll try it with whatever cheese. 5


I found it in the specialty cheeses but I'm sure you could use Mozzarella or any other cheese. I had to go in & edit the recipe cause I forgot to put to grate the cheese.

I did a little editing on this recipe when I discovered that Monterey Jack cheese isn't available in all countries. Made them again this morning with Mozzarella Cheese & they came out great. Any mild cheese that melts well can be substituted
