Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Cooked ham, diced
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Green onions, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Then stir in the milk and melted butter until the liquid mixture is smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should still be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the diced ham, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly and smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake 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.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your savory Ham and Cheddar Loaf!
