- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder optional
Cheese Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and optional garlic powder. Whisk until well mixed.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese until fully incorporated.
- In another bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, and melted butter together until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until combined, but do not overmix.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Baking
- Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for a few minutes before moving it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optionally, sprinkle fresh parsley over the top before serving.
Notes
Consider adding different herbs or spices like fresh rosemary or thyme for added flavor. You can also swap half of the cheddar for blue cheese, or add chopped jalapeños for a spicy kick.
