• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and olive oil until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, black olives, and fresh basil until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with your spatula.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the batter for extra flavor and a golden crust.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

Step 10

Carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
