Method
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal and water, whisking until smooth.
- Stir in the cheese, eggs, salt, and black pepper into the cornmeal mixture until well combined.
- Melt the butter in a baking dish in the oven for about 5 minutes, then pour the corn mixture into the dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Meanwhile, chop your choice of seasonal vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, and onions) and place them in a roasting pan.
- Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly. Roast the vegetables in the oven for 25 minutes, or until tender and caramelized.
- Once the corn bake is ready, let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve the corn bake in deep bowls topped with the roasted vegetables, garnished with fresh cilantro and a dollop of sour cream if desired.
