Certainly! Here’s a simple recipe for Cheddar Cheese Quick Bread:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard-sized loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients and toss it lightly to coat the cheese with flour. This helps prevent the cheese from sinking to the bottom of the bread during baking.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs (but no wet batter).
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and enjoy! This Cheddar Cheese Quick Bread is great on its own or served with soups, salads, or as a side dish.
