Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup milk
1 large egg
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tbsp honey (optional for a slight sweetness)
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder (if using). Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and honey (if using).
Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Bake the bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Cool and serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
This cheddar cheese quick bread is soft, cheesy, and perfect for serving alongside soups, salads, or as a snack!
