Cheesy Quick Bread Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
• 1/2 tsp dried herbs (like thyme, rosemary, or Italian seasoning, optional)
• 1 cup grated cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1 large egg

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and dried herbs.
3. Add Cheese: Stir in the grated cheese until it’s evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Serve: Slice and enjoy your cheesy quick bread warm or at room temperature.

Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese and herbs to find your favorite combination. Enjoy your baking!
