Cheesy Quick Bread

Preparation Time:

• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cook Time: 45 minutes
• Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp. black pepper
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup milk
• 1/3 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tbsp. chopped fresh chives (optional)

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 bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.
   • Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives (if using) until well coated with the flour mixture.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
   • In another bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream, melted butter, and eggs until smooth.
4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:
   • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be thick and slightly lumpy.
5. Bake the Bread:
   • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
6. Cool and Serve:
   • Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
   • Slice and serve the cheesy quick bread warm or at room temperature.
