Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray and set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
Step 3
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring it is evenly dispersed throughout the dry mixture.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and melted butter until fully combined.
Step 5
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.
Step 6
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Slice and serve the cheese loaf warm or at room temperature. Enjoy it as is or with a spread of butter!
