A savory quick bread with cheesy flavor and tender crumb, perfect for any meal. Loaded with cheddar cheese and a spiced butter topping for irresistible flavor.
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon white granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon table salt
2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (sharp cheddar recommended)
1 large egg
1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon parsley flakes
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C)
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt
Add shredded cheddar cheese and mix to distribute evenly
In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, milk, and melted butter
Gradually add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, mixing until just combined (do not overmix)
Transfer dough to a greased 8×8-inch baking dish, spreading into an even layer
In a small bowl, toss garlic powder, onion powder, parsley flakes, and melted butter until mixed
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the dough
Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean
Let cool slightly before slicing into 8-10 portions
For best texture, shred cheese from a block rather than pre-shredded.
Milk can be substituted with non-dairy alternatives like whole oat milk (unsweetened).
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for 5 days.
Warms well in a toaster oven or microwave.
