Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ⅓ cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives or green onions (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly coated.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream, egg, and melted butter.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined — do not overmix. Fold in chives or green onions if using.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra cheesy flavor, sprinkle a little extra cheddar cheese on top before baking.
  • Add-ins like cooked bacon bits, diced jalapeños, or sun-dried tomatoes can be mixed in for a fun twist.
  • Store leftovers wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
