Sweetcorn Pot Bread with Blistered Tomatoes

Ingredients

Cooks in:40-50 minutes        Serves:4-6

For the Sweetcorn Bread

• 3 eggs
• 1 cup flour (125g), sifted
• 3 tsp baking powder
• 1 cup grated cheddar cheese (you could also add in some crumbled feta)
• 1 small onion, grated or very finely chopped
• 2-3 sprigs fresh thyme
• Generous pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tin whole kernel sweet corn

For the Blistered Tomatoes

• 1 cup rosa or cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1-2 sprigs fresh thyme
• 2 tsp sugar
• 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
• Generous pinch of salt and pepper

What to do

1. Pre-heat oven to 180C and line a small loaf tin with baking paper (or using a pot and fire method).

2. Mix all the ingredients together, pour into the loaf tin and bake until the loaf is golden and when pierced with a sharp knife it comes out clean.

3. Meanwhile, add the all of the ingredients for the blistered tomatoes to a small saucepan and cook on medium-low heat until sticky, 12-15 minutes. Add a little water to the pot if necessary. Remove from the heat, check for seasoning and set aside.

4. Serve the bread within a few minutes of removing from the oven, with lashings of fresh butter and the blistered tomatoes on the side.
