Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch cast iron skillet or an 8x8-inch baking dish with butter.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, large eggs, and melted butter until smooth.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Gently fold in the diced jalapeño peppers, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and shredded Monterey Jack cheese into the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared cast iron skillet or baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The internal temperature should reach 200-210°F.

Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows it to set properly.
