Cottage Cheese Cheddar Jalapeno Bread
This savory bread is packed with sharp cheddar and a zesty jalapeno kick. It bakes up tender and golden every time.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Small Curd Cottage Cheese (I recommend this one, reliable every time - amazon)
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1/4 cup Whole Milk
- 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter, Melted
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (I always buy this one - amazon)
- 1 tbsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 3/4 tsp Fine Salt
- 1 1/4 cups Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 1/3 cup Chopped Pickled Jalapenos
- 2 tbsp Chopped Green Onions
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Equipment
- loaf pan
- blender
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and line it with parchment paper.
- Blend the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, and melted butter until mostly smooth.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder in a large bowl. Add 1 cup of cheddar, the jalapenos, and green onions, then toss until evenly coated.
- Fold the cottage cheese mixture into the dry ingredients just until no flour pockets remain. Avoid overmixing so the baked bread stays tender.
- Spread the batter in the prepared pan and sprinkle the remaining cheddar over the top.
- Bake for 45 to 52 minutes, until golden and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
- Transfer the bread to a wire rack and let it cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
