Low FODMAP Skillet Cornbread

Looking for some breakfast or packed lunch ideas? What about this delicious low FODMAP skillet cornbread recipe with goat cheese, ham and tomatoes?

Cornbread is a typical North American quick bread with cornmeal, flour, eggs, buttermilk, leavened by baking powder and cooked in a cast iron skillet in the oven.

I’ve always wanted to make some homemade cornbread but was not tempted by the old fashioned recipe. I’ve developed this recipe following the traditional cornbread baking steps. Then I though that if I added some bacon (already used in many cornbread recipes), intense tart flavored goat cheese and small tomatoes, I might give a different twist to this traditional bread recipe.

I prefered to make it in a hot cast iron skillet in the oven for a crunchy crust. If you have a cast-iron pan, this is a good way to use it!

The result is a surprisingly delicious low FODMAP skillet cornbread. A filling and flavorful breakfast or a quick lunch accompanied with a green salad.

• In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, oil, yogurt and buttermilk, and whisk to combine well.

• Finally add the bacon and cheese.
• Carefully remove the skillet (or pan) from the oven and spread the batter in it. Top with the cherry tomatoes.
