Herb & Cheese Quick Bread 🧀🌿
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder (optional but recommended)
- 1½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar, gruyère, or a mix)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F / 175°C. Grease a loaf pan.

- In another bowl, whisk milk, eggs, and oil/butter.
- Gently fold wet ingredients into dry—don’t overmix.
- Pour into pan, smooth the top.
- Bake 40–50 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool 10 minutes, then slice while still warm (mandatory).
Optional upgrades
- Sprinkle extra cheese on top before baking

Perfect with soup, eggs, or just torn apart by hand like a civilized goblin.
