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.
