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.

I am addicted to corn meal and goat’s cheese! I don’t mind bacon and cherry tomatoes either! Delicious one-pan dish to be eaten any time of the day.
Was the bacon supposed to be cooked first? It doesn’t say so and it’s creeping us out now that’s it’s made.
Hi! What kind of bacon did you use? Bacon is usually smoked or cured so no problem to use it directly. It is also cooked with the bread.

Ok, then it’s a texture issue for us then as it still is completely soft in the bread. I did look up traditional bacon cornbread and they all said to cook the bacon first. At least we know that this was safe but just not ideal for us. I am just going to pre-crisp the bacon next time. Thank you for your response.
