Creating Cheese, Herb & Garlic Quick Bread is straightforward and rewarding. Follow these simple steps to achieve the best results:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk together until well blended.
3. Add Herbs and Cheese: Fold in the chopped herbs and shredded cheese into the flour mixture, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
5. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix. The batter may be lumpy, but that’s okay.
6. Transfer to Baking Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Optionally, sprinkle additional herbs and cheese on top for extra flavor.
7. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
8. Cool: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then move it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Slice and Enjoy: Slice your cheese, herb, and garlic quick bread and serve it warm or at room temperature.
