Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary

1 cup whole milk

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.

  • Mix Dry Ingredients:

    • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  • Add Cheese and Herbs:

    • Stir in the shredded cheddar, parsley, thyme, and rosemary until evenly distributed.

  • Mix Wet Ingredients:

    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and eggs until well combined.

  • Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

    • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  • Bake:

    • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spread evenly, and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  • Cool:

    • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Variations & Tips:

Cheese Variety: Swap cheddar for Gruyere or feta for a unique flavor.

Herb Substitutes: Dill and chives work great as alternatives to rosemary and thyme.

Spicy Kick: Add red pepper flakes or finely chopped jalapeños for heat.

Whole Wheat Option: Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a heartier texture.

Storage:

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Reheating:

Reheat slices in the oven for 5-7 minutes to warm them up.
