Ingredients

For this Cheesy Quick Bread, you’ll need the following ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional, for color and taste)
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs

Tip: For extra flavor, you can add chopped herbs like chives, parsley, or thyme, or even cooked bacon bits.

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper. This ensures your bread doesn’t stick and comes out perfectly golden.
