Mash the white cheese with a fork and finely chop the dill.
Mix the cornmeal, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
Add the yogurt, egg, and melted butter and mix until smooth; fold in the mashed cheese and dill.
Pour the mixture into a greased mold, smooth the top with a spatula, and bake in a 190°C oven for 22 minutes, until the crust browns.
Rest the bread for 5 minutes after it comes out of the oven, then slice and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Baking powder is essential for cornbread; otherwise the batter stays heavy and the center will not cook through. Do not knead the cornmeal mixture for long, because there is no gluten, and mixing only until smooth is enough.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Slice the hot bread onto a plate and complete an Aegean breakfast with homemade butter, sliced tomatoes, white cheese, and strong tea.
