          -pieces

MMMMM--------------------------TOPPING-------------------------------
   1/3 c  All-purpose flour
   1/3 c  Corn meal
     1 tb Sugar
   1/4 ts Baking powder
   1/8 ts Baking soda
   1/4 ts Salt
   1/3 c  Buttermilk
     1 lg Egg
     1 tb Unsalted butter; melted and
          -cooled

 Total time: 50 minutes

 Packed with summery zucchini, fresh corn, and poblano chile and bound
 in a cheesy tomato sauce, this one-dish skillet supper for two is as
 filling as it is easy to make. The poblano chile plus pepper Jack
 cheese and chili powder created a Southwestern flavor profile. We
 packed the vegetables into an 8" skillet, keeping the generous
 filling from spilling over. A layer of simple buttermilk cornbread
 spread on top and baked until golden brown provided a delicious foil
 for the saucy, spicy vegetables. If you don’t have buttermilk on
 hand, you can substitute 1/3 cup of milk and 1-1/2 ts of lemon juice;
 stir together and let the mixture sit until it thickens, about 5
 minutes. To make individual portions, divide the filling evenly
 between two 6" pie plates; spread half of the cornbread topping
 evenly over the filling in each pie plate and bake on a rimmed baking
 sheet. Serve with sour cream, if desired.

 For the filling:

 Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 450°F. Heat oil
 in 8" ovensafe skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add
 poblano, shallot, and 1/4 ts salt and cook, stirring frequently,
 until softened, about 5 minutes. Add corn, zucchini, and tomatoes.
 Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 6 to 8
 minutes. Stir in chili powder and cook until fragrant, about
      30    seconds.

 Off heat, stir in pepper Jack, cilantro, and reserved tomato juice.
 Season with salt and pepper to taste; set aside.

 For the topping:

 Whisk flour, corn meal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt
 together in medium bowl. Whisk buttermilk and egg together in small
 bowl. Stir buttermilk mixture into flour mixture until uniform, then
 stir in melted butter until just combined.

 Dollop cornbread topping evenly over filling, then spread into even
 layer, covering filling completely. Bake until cornbread is golden
 and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 12 to 15 minutes.
 Serve.
