Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Melt butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat; saute onion, garlic, red pepper, jalapenos, and corn kernels until tender, about 5 minutes.

In a large bowl, sift together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in buttermilk and eggs. Add sauteed mixture, stir until incorporated. Add cheese and stir.

Pour batter back into skillet; bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden brown on edges and firm to touch. Let the corn bread sit for 20 to 30 minutes before cutting into wedges.
