Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 cup Grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (cut into small cubes)
- 1 unit Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your hands to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the grated cheddar cheese and half of the grated Parmesan cheese (reserve the other half for topping).
Slowly pour in the milk, mixing until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it 2-3 times. Press it into a rectangle about ½-inch thick.
Cut the dough into 6 equal rectangles. Place a small cube of cream cheese in the center of each rectangle. Fold the dough over the cream cheese, pinching the edges to seal, and form each piece into a small loaf shape.
Place the loaves on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
Brush the tops of the loaves with the beaten egg and sprinkle the remaining grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the tops.
Bake the loaves in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed.
Remove the loaves from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Optionally, garnish the finished loaves with freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and color.
