A good cornbread recipe is an essential part of any southern kitchen. Here, we’ve used Sean Brock’s famous cornbread recipe from his restaurant Husk in Charleston, South Carolina to create a cornbread loaf. We cut the loaf into slices and topped them with cilantro yogurt sauce, avocado, pickled onions, and a drizzle of Sriracha to add our own twist to the infamous avocado toast we all know and love.

Directions
- Heat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Place a cast iron loaf pan inside.
- In a bowl, combine cornmeal, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
- Combine 4 tablespoons of butter, the egg, and the buttermilk. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until smooth.
- Move the loaf pan from the oven. Add the remaining butter to the pan and swirl to coat. Pour in the batter filling the loaf pan about ¾ full; it should sizzle vigorously. Shake the pan to distribute it evenly. Bake 25-30 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the loaf to cool inside the pan. Once cool, remove the loaf from the pan and cut into 1-inch slices.
- Stir chopped cilantro into yogurt. Spread yogurt sauce onto each slice and top with avocado, pickled onions, and Sriracha.
