Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.25 cup Fresh chives, chopped
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then mix in the milk and melted butter.
Cut the cream cheese into small chunks and fold it into the dry ingredients along with the chopped chives.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be lumpy.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
