Easy Cheesy Quick Bread Recipe: A Savory Delight for Any Occasion
Ingredients:
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 ½ tablespoons baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese)
- 1 large egg, beaten
- ¾ cup milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
Preparation:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the shredded cheese.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the beaten egg, milk, and vegetable oil.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing!
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips & Variations:
For an extra cheesy crust, sprinkle additional shredded cheese on top before baking.
Customize your bread with mix-ins like chopped fresh herbs, cubed ham, or diced jalapeños.
This bread is best enjoyed warm but can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
Enjoy your homemade cheesy quick bread as a snack, side, or breakfast treat!
