Ingredients
Scale
- 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 to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar, parsley, thyme, and rosemary until evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and eggs until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spread evenly, and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
