Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create the Herb & Cheese Quick Bread:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, oregano, and thyme until evenly combined.
3. Add Cheese: Fold the shredded cheese into the dry ingredients, ensuring an even distribution.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until well combined.
5. Combine All Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are okay.
6. Fold in Fresh Herbs: Gently fold in the chopped fresh herbs for added flavor.
7. Pour into Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
8. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool and Slice: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
