Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup butter, unsalted (cold, cubed)
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1.5 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
• 2 large eggs
• 0.75 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the cold cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and blueberries, ensuring they are evenly dispersed throughout the dry mixture.

Step 5

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 7

Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve. This bread is delicious warm or at room temperature, and it pairs wonderfully with a slather of butter or cream cheese.
