🥘 Ingredients

10 items

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 cup whole milk
• 2 large eggs

• 0.25 cup green onions, finely chopped

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and ground black pepper until evenly combined.

3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.

4. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

5. Fold in the shredded Pepper Jack cheese and chopped green onions until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

9. Serve warm or at room temperature as a savory snack or side dish. Enjoy!
