Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese blend)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup plain yogurt or sour cream
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Optional: chopped chives or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
- Stir in the shredded cheese, reserving a small handful for topping.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, yogurt (or sour cream), and olive oil.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined—do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
- Optional garnish: sprinkle chopped chives or parsley before serving.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the loaf tender.
- Reserve a small handful of cheese to sprinkle on top for a cheesy crust.
- Garnish with chopped chives or parsley for color and extra flavor (optional).
- Serve warm for the meltiest bite, or at room temperature.
- Leftovers can be wrapped and refrigerated; reheat slices in the microwave or toaster oven.
