Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium (finely chopped) Yellow onion
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1.5 cups (shredded) Sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 2 whole Large eggs
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until golden and caramelized, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and caramelized onions, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and olive oil until fully combined.

Step 6

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent a dense bread.

Step 7

If using fresh parsley, fold it into the batter at this stage.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
