How to Make Herb & Cheese Quick Bread

Mix Dry Components

Combine flour with herbs and cheese for a flavorful base.

Blend Wet Ingredients

Whisk liquids together for even distribution throughout the bread.

Combine Gently

Mix just until ingredients come together for a tender crumb.

Bake to Golden Perfection

Achieve a crusty exterior while maintaining a moist interior.

Baking Tips

Use whatever fresh herbs you have on hand - basil, oregano, and sage work well too.

For extra flavor, add 1/4 cup of sun-dried tomatoes or olives to the batter.

This bread stays fresh for 2-3 days stored in an airtight container.

Leftover slices can be frozen for up to 1 month.

For a crispy top, brush the loaf with olive oil before baking.
