Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring it is evenly dispersed throughout the dry mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and melted butter until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 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 allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the cheese loaf warm or at room temperature. Enjoy it as is or with a spread of butter!
