Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and garlic powder (if using).
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs until light and frothy. Add the milk and melted butter, and whisk until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Make sure not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with the back of the spoon or a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely or slice and serve warm.
Optional: Sprinkle the top with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
