Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 50 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 loaf

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups all-purpose flour
  2. 1 cup shredded cheese
  3. 1 medium onion, chopped
  4. 1 tbsp baking powder
  5. 1 tsp salt
  6. 1 cup milk
  7. 1 egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, finely chop the medium onion into small, uniform pieces to ensure even distribution throughout the bread.
  3. In a separate large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well blended.
  4. Add the shredded cheese to the dry ingredients and mix gently to coat the cheese with flour, which will help prevent the cheese from sinking during baking.
  5. In another bowl, whisk the egg and milk together until completely combined and smooth.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and add the chopped onions. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  7. Transfer the bread batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly and smoothing the top with a spatula.
  8. Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, slice and serve the bread warm, optionally with butter or as a side to soups and salads.

Tips

  1. Choose a cheese with good melting properties like cheddar or monterey jack for maximum flavor impact.
  2. Finely dice the onions to ensure even distribution and prevent large chunks in your bread.
  3. Do not overmix the batter—mix just until ingredients are combined to keep the bread tender.
  4. Let the bread cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing to help it set and prevent crumbling.
  5. For extra richness, consider brushing the top with melted butter right after baking.
  6. Store the bread in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the oven to restore its fresh-baked texture.
