Description
Herb & Cheese Quick Bread is a savory sensation that combines fresh herbs, melty cheese, and a tender, golden crust. Perfect for gatherings or as a comforting homemade treat.
Ingredients
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup olive oil or melted butter
- 1 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
- 1/4 cup fresh chopped herbs (parsley, rosemary, thyme, or a blend)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Then, add the milk and olive oil or melted butter, mixing until everything is well incorporated.
4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Fold in the shredded cheese and chopped fresh herbs until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
7. Allow the Herb & Cheese Quick Bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Slice and serve while slightly warm or let it cool completely for firmer slices.
Notes
To ensure your Herb & Cheese Quick Bread turns out perfectly every time, avoid overmixing the batter and be mindful of your baking time to prevent dryness.
