Cheesy Bacon, Sweet Corn and Pepper Bread Easy recipe and yep, VERY DELICIOUS! Serve warm or cold, tasty either way! Goes great with soups too.
Cheesy Bacon, Corn and Pepper Bread. The flavours are simply wonderful! This is delicious served warm from the oven or cooled. It has a texture of a cake, only the flavours are of course savoury. A really simple and easy recipe and very pleasing!
This recipe is very easy and straightforward. You can even make this using a muffin pan (just adjust the cook time to less!). So this cheesy bacon, corn and pepper bread is also great for parties if you are looking for portion control and serve as individual muffins instead.
For this recipe, I’ve used frozen sweetcorn, however, fresh or canned will also work. Just make sure you drain any liquid away of using canned sweetcorn.
It’s a very flexible recipe too! If you wanted to add some red onion, simply chop or thinly slice and quickly sautee, and add them to the batter. Or perhaps some mushrooms? The choice is yours!
This cheesy bacon, corn and pepper bread is a moist, soft loaf/pound cake and so delicious! They freeze very well, so always handy if you have unexpected visitors for a light lunch or brunch! This is really delicious served with a nice bowl of soup too, take along to a picnic or party, perhaps part of a wedding buffet!
So let’s get straight to the recipe and see how we make our cheesy bacon, corn pepper bread. Please enjoy!
Ingredients:
3 eggs
1 Tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup or 120 ml oil
1 cup or 200 g Sweetcorn
1/4 Red Bell Pepper, cut small cubes
1/4 Green bell Pepper, cut small cubes
1 cup or 200 g cooked and drained chopped bacon (cooled)
1 cup or 100 g grated Cheddar cheese
8 Tablespoons of milk (divided)
1 1/2 cups or 190 g All Purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 Teaspoon Salt (reduce if your bacon is salty)
1 Teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions:
1. Place the sweetcorn in a blender or bowl, add 2 Tablespoons of milk, then blend or mash. You can puree until smooth, or just pulse to have a lumpy texture. I pulsed to leave chunks of sweetcorn.
Chop the peppers and set aside.
2. In a mixer, add eggs, sugar, oil and mix for 5 minutes. Switch off mixer and using a wooden spoon, add the sweetcorn, bacon, red and green peppers and cheese. Combine well. Then add remaining 6 Tablespoons of milk.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking soda and baking powder, salt & pepper then add that slowly to the wet mix and combine well.
4. Pour the batter into the lined bread pan and bake at 325 F / 170 C for 40 minutes. Test with a toothpick the centre is cooked.
NOTES:
You can make this in a 9 x 13 pan, double the recipe and check if cooked through after around 35 – 40 minutes.
You can also use this recipe (same quantity ingredients as the regular loaf) to make 12 muffins, bake at the same temperature for between 20 – 25 minutes.
Leave in the pan for 15 – 20 minutes before slicing so it has time to firm up a little.
Serve warm or cooled, it’s delicious either way! Enjoy!

Just made this bread today. Bit fiddly with cooking the bacon, blitzing corn in the processor and mixing the wet ingredients but it was worth it! So delicious.
