Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp Baking powder
• 1 tbsp Sugar
• 1 tsp Salt
• 4 tbsp Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 medium Onion (finely diced, caramelized)
• 2 tbsp Green onions (chopped)
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium skillet, heat 1 tbsp of butter over medium heat and sauté the diced onion until golden and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and garlic powder.

Step 4

Cut the cold, diced butter into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and one egg. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.

Step 6

Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, caramelized onion, and chopped green onions until evenly distributed throughout the dough. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Transfer the dough into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Beat the remaining egg and brush it lightly over the top of the bread for a golden brown crust.

Step 8

Bake 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, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Easy Cheese and Onion Bread as a standalone snack or paired with soup or salad!
