Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or baking spray.

Chop bacon into small pieces and fry it until crisp, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Whisk melted butter, sugar, milk and eggs together in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt.

Gently stir dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients until combined and moistened, but not over-mixed.

Fold in cheese, bacon crumbles, herbs and corn with a spatula until incorporated.

Pour batter into greased pan and bake for 30 minutes, topping with extra cheese after 20 minutes. Bread is cooked when the middle is set and the edges are golden brown.
