Heavenly Cheesy Quick Bread

🥣 Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
  3. Stir in the shredded cheese and chives, coating them lightly with the flour mixture.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and oil (or butter).
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until combined — don’t overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle a little extra cheese on top if desired.
  7. Bake 35–40 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

💡 Tips

  • Add a pinch of paprika or Italian seasoning for more flavor.
  • Fold in cooked bacon bits, diced ham, or jalapeños for a twist.
  • This bread reheats beautifully — just toast a slice and spread with butter or garlic butter!

Would you like me to give you a Cheddar–Herb Garlic Butter version — extra savory and bakery-style?
