Whole Grain Rosemary Parmesan Corn Bread

For added crunchiness, I sprinkle an extra teaspoon each of corn meal and grated cheese over the top before cooking. If necessary, loosely cover the top with foil for the last 10 or 15 minutes of cooking to prevent over browning.

Yellow Plain Corn Meal
Ingredients
1 cup water
1/4 cup bulgar wheat
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 cup evaporated milk
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
Directions: 

Preheat oven to 375°F. Place bulgur wheat in a small bowl. Place water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil; pour over wheat and allow it to sit for 5 minutes to rehydrate and soften. Drain and set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together corn meal, flour, parmesan cheese, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center of mixture and add milk, beaten eggs, olive oil, wheat and chopped rosemary. Stir just until moistened (batter will be lumpy).

Pour mixture into a prepared 1 1/2 quart dish. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
