Zucchini Brown-Butter Cornbread Recipe
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), plus more for coating the pan
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 large zucchini (about 10 ounces), ends trimmed and discarded
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh marjoram or oregano
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup cornmeal
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.
- Coat a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with butter.
- Melt the measured butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Keep your eye on the pan and cook until the butter solids at the bottom of the pan turn golden brown, about 4 minutes.
- Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
- Add the eggs and buttermilk and whisk to combine.
- Meanwhile, coarsely grate the zucchini, reserving 1/4 cup for garnishing.
- Add the rest of the zucchini to the butter mixture along with the marjoram or oregano and stir to combine.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to combine and break up any lumps.
- Add the grated cheese and toss to combine.
- Add the zucchini mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Transfer to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Arrange the reserved grated zucchini in a line down the top of the batter.
- Bake until a tester comes out clean, about 55 to 65 minutes.
- Let the bread rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully turn out onto a wire rack to cool.
