Bacon and Green Onion Cornbread

Just before we left for Spain, I bought the cutest little loaf pan with the sharpest corners but I didn’t have enough time to try it so it was tucked away until our return at the end of May. I was paging through the Early Summer Edition of the LCBO Food and Drink Magazine when I spotted this cornbread recipe. And the ingredients were easy to half plus I had just enough of the ingredients (like only one egg)!

I have visions of baking nutty crackers in this adorable pan.

Bacon and onions, are a delicious combination.

Makes about 1 small loaf pan, 75 cm x 180 cm (3 inches x 7 inches)

1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a small loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. Combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and soda, and sea salt and whisk well.
3. In another bowl, combine the egg, kefir, melted butter, green onions, and bacon, and whisk to combine.
4. Pour the wet into the dry ingredients and mix just to combine, it will be lumpy.
