What to do with leftover cornbread? How about a “corny” twist on savory bread pudding? Featherbed eggs are the answer to a simple meal any time of the day!
Featherbed Eggs
Ingredients
- ½ cup jalapeno cheddar cheese cornbread, crumbled
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp milk
- 1 tbsp green onion, sliced
- 1 tbsp Parmesan cheese
- Dash of salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉.
- Coat an 8 oz ramekin or oven proof-dish with cooking spray. Crumble cornbread into the bottom.
- In a separate bowl, beat egg and milk until well incorporated. Stir in green onion, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
- Pour egg mixture over cornbread and bake until the eggs become puffy and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
- Hack: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen, tightly wrapped for up to 2 months.
- Hack: Chop leftover green onions and freeze them in a sealable freezer bag or container for future use. While they won’t retain the crispness that would make them suitable for salads or garnish, they will be fine for cooking.
