Farina® Cheese Spoon Bread

Spoon bread is a great starch alternative to potatoes or rice. This cheese version is delicious with ham or roast pork. For a spicy addition, stir a drained, 4-ounce can of diced green chili peppers into to the batter. Or, for a hearty accompaniment to breakfast, stir in ¾ cup of diced cooked bacon and use the bacon cooking fat to coat the baking pan.

Ingredients

• 2½ cups water
• 1 cup Farina
• 1½ teaspoons salt
• 4 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
• 1 cup milk or cream
• 4 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1¼ cups grated yellow cheddar cheese

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Grease a 9-inch cast iron skillet or square baking pan.
• Pour the water, Farina and salt into a deep saucepan and place over medium heat.
• Bring to a boil, stirring often.
• Cook two minutes, remove from the heat and beat in the butter.
• When the butter has melted, beat in the milk or cream and the eggs.
• Stir in the cheese and pour into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
