This is comfort food at its gourmet best, and the only thing I can say about it is to warn unwary newcomers.
Spoon bread is addictive.
It is so easy to make and yet so difficult to get out of your mind. It is simply divine. Some people call it batter bread, but the name spoon bread I suspect refers to how it is served. There are many ways to make spoon bread, so you can devise your own using different vegetables with the basic binders of eggs, cornmeal, milk, baking powder, water, and seasoning. Bring the water and salt to a boil in a large saucepan.
