Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, garlic powder, and dried thyme.
Stir in the fresh parsley, rosemary, and shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring the cheese and herbs are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be thick.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly with the spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
