Source  Our Best Bites
Recipe Added:  12/29/2011
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
4 eggs, room temperature
1 can chopped green chiles
1 can cream style corn
1 cup flour
4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp table salt
1 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup grated Monterrey Jack Cheese
1/2 cup grated Cheddar cheese
Alternate Version
3 cups flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
¼ cup sugar
2 Tbsp baking powder
2 tsp salt
2 cups milk
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 sticks butter, melted
2 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese, grated
1/3 cup green onions, chopped
1 can chopped green chiles
Preheat oven to 350F. Beat butter and sugar until fluffy, about 1 minute. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each. Add green chiles and corn and mix well. In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Toss a spoonful of flour mixture with grated cheeses to prevent cheese from sticking. Add remaining flour mixture, and cornmeal to bowl and stir to combine. Add cheese and mix well. Pour into greased 9×13 pan. Reduce heat to 300 and bake 50-60 minutes. (The heat reduction is important.)

Alternate Version Combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt in bowl. In a separate bowl, combine milk, eggs, and butter. Stir wet ingredients into dry until most lumps are dissolved. Don't over mix. Add cheese, green onions, and chilies. Let sit at room temperature 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease 9x13 pan, pour batter into pan and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool and cut into squares.

Notes
To quickly bring eggs to room temperature, place them in warm water for about 10 minutes before cracking.
