Instructions

1. 1

   Start by melting a stick of butter in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave the butter for 30 second intervals until the butter has completely melted.

2. 2

   Then whisk in some granulated sugar.

3. 3

   Next, whisk in two eggs.

4. 4

   Now you're going to mix together some buttermilk and baking soda and pour this into the mixture. Stir until well combined.

5. 5

   Lastly, pour in cornmeal, flour, salt, shredded cheddar cheese, and canned diced jalapenos! Make sure you mix this until the mixture is *just* combined. Don't over mix, or you'll end up with tough bread!

6. 6

   Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and prepare a pan with cooking spray. I used a mini loaf pan very similar to this mini loaf pan, but an 8 x 8 pan would work, too! Although, the cooking time may vary. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and top the batter with thinly sliced fresh jalapenos.

7. 7

   Bake for about 25 to 35 minutes - again, the cooking time may vary depending on the size of your pan.

8. 8

   Remove from the oven, and let the loaves cool in the pan for a few minutes.

9. 9

   Remove from the pan and let set on a cooling rack until you're ready to serve!
