I was kind of expecting this to turn out like a casserole, however, it's a wonderfully dense, rich cornbread that we'll definitely be having again. I used mild cheddar cheese instead of muenster, and almost cut back on the amount of butter, but decided to go ahead with the full amount. I'm glad I did that, as it really seems to carry a "buttery-oniony" flavor through the bread. It's hard to stop eating this stuff!
