🧀 Cheesy Herb Quick Bread
Prep Time: 10 mins
Bake Time: 45–50 mins
Total Time: ~1 hour
Yields: 1 loaf (about 10 slices)
Ingredients
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 tbsp baking powder
-
½ tsp baking soda
-
½ tsp salt
-
½ tsp garlic powder
-
1 tsp dried herbs (like thyme, oregano, rosemary, or Italian seasoning)
-
¼ tsp black pepper
-
1½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
-
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional for extra flavor)
-
1 cup buttermilk (or sub with 1 cup milk + 1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar, let sit 5 mins)
-
1 large egg
-
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a standard loaf pan (9×5 inch).
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, herbs, and black pepper.
-
Stir in the shredded cheese and parsley until coated with flour (helps prevent clumping).
-
In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined. Do not overmix — batter will be thick.
-
Spoon batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
-
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until golden on top and a toothpick comes out clean.
-
Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
💡 Tips
-
Add-ins: Try crumbled bacon, sun-dried tomatoes, or chopped olives.
-
Cheese ideas: Sharp cheddar, Gruyère, Monterey Jack, or a spicy pepper jack.
-
Serve with soups, chili, or just warm with butter — it’s addictively good.
