If you’re looking for a great way to use your sourdough discard recipe, try this cheddar sourdough cornbread. We’ve blended three quarters of a cup of sourdough discard into this cheesy cornbread batter to give it a rich and complex flavor. You’ll love how moist and fluffy this bread turns out. Sourdough Cornbread is perfect for serving alongside soup, chili and just about any main dish recipe. Of course, it’s delicious all on its own too! Share this easy bread recipe with your fellow sourdough lovers on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter or Instagram – and be sure to use our handle @cabotcheese when posting on Instagram.


To make cheddar sourdough cornbread, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.


Coat a 9-inch pie plate or 8 by 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray (or grease with butter).


Stir sourdough discard, eggs and Cabot Salted Butter (melted and cooled) in a medium bowl. Add milk and stir again.


In a large bowl, stir together cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.


Add the sourdough mixture to the cornmeal mixture and stir until just combined. Then add shredded Cabot 2 Year Cheddar and stir to combine.


Spread the batter in the prepared pan. Bake the cornbread until the center is set and springs back lightly when pressed and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
