Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 medium Jalapenos, finely diced
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.25 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and diced jalapenos, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the milk and melted butter until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be thick.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into 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. Serve warm or at room temperature.
