Recipe Review

Yuck. I found this 'spoon bread' to be nasty. I've never eaten spoon bread, but I can't imagine that is how it is supposed to taste. (The lemon zest is the ingredient that I blame the most.)

You break 2 eggs into a bowl, beat them up, add 2 cups buttermilk (I checked it for taste, thinking perhaps IT had gone bad and was responsible for the nasty taste--but no), 2 T. of Cheddar, 1/2 c. cornmeal, bit of salt, and 1 T. of lemon zest.

Author seems to want to offer healthier recipes. But in this case, the only way I could eat any of this yuck was to smear with butter. I may throw it out.

I am sorry that your first experience with spoon bread was a bad one. I love spoon bread, especially if it has cheese in it. I also like anything baked with buttermilk. My spoon bread comes out as a soft, eggy cornbread, the crispy exterior being particularly good. I hope you give it another try sometime.

It's not been touched since I made it the other day. (Hate tossing it, but...) Do you suppose that maybe the small amount of cheese, the lack of butter, or maybe the ZEST made it not-so-good? I usually like anything corny, eggy, cheesy. Have u heard to adding zest to spoonbread?

No, and I once ruined pecan pies by following a recipe with orange zest in it. I mostly only like citrus zest when it enhances the citrus flavor of orange or lemon juice in a recipe.
