Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 1.5 cups Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 0.75 cup Buttermilk
• 1 large Egg
• 3 tablespoons Green onions (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Melted butter
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Avoid overworking to keep the butter cold.

Step 4

Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and chopped green onions to evenly distribute throughout the mixture.

Step 5

In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg until smooth. Pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients, gently combining with a wooden spoon or spatula until a sticky dough forms. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the dough looks slightly lumpy.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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 8

While the loaf is baking, prepare the topping by mixing the melted butter and dried parsley in a small bowl.

Step 9

When the loaf is finished baking, brush the top generously with the melted butter mixture for extra flavor and shine.

Step 10

Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully remove it and let it cool further on a wire rack before slicing.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the cheesy, zesty goodness!
