Herb & Cheese Quick Bread Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tbsp fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, parsley, or a mix), chopped
- 1 cup (100 g) grated cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- 1 cup (240 ml) buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup (60 ml) vegetable oil or melted butter
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease or line a loaf pan (8×4 inches / 20×10 cm).
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, herbs, and cheese.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients
- In another bowl, beat together buttermilk, eggs, and oil/butter.
4. Combine
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients.
- Stir just until combined—do not overmix. Batter should be thick but pourable.
5. Bake
- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
- Bake 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
6. Serve
- Slice warm or at room temperature.
- Delicious plain or with butter.
Tips
- Extra flavor: Add sun-dried tomatoes, olives, or caramelized onions.
- Cheese options: Cheddar, Gruyère, or Parmesan work well.
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 2–3 days or freeze slices for longer storage.
If you want, I can make a super fast 20-minute herb & cheese bread using a skillet or microwave, no loaf pan needed.
