Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup butter, unsalted (cold, cubed)
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1.5 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2 large eggs
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the cold cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and blueberries, ensuring they are evenly dispersed throughout the dry mixture.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve. This bread is delicious warm or at room temperature, and it pairs wonderfully with a slather of butter or cream cheese.
