Here’s a recipe for a delicious cheese and herb bread that you can enjoy as a snack or as a side dish with your meals.
Cheese and Herb Bread
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 egg (lightly beaten)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, thyme, basil, and oregano.
- Stir in the cheese until it is well coated with the flour mixture.
- In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients: milk, melted butter, and the lightly beaten egg.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix. The batter will be thick.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
- Bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Before serving, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for added color and flavor.
Enjoy!
