Ingredients
- 2 eggs slightly beaten
- 4 ounces fire roasted diced green chilis (hot) drained

- Add the cornmeal, baking powder, and cheese. Stir well.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a cast iron skillet. Pour in the cornbread mixture and allow it to cook for about 30 seconds to get a crusty bottom.
