Savory Zucchini Cheddar Quick Bread

Recipe Description

This Savory Zucchini Cheddar Quick Bread recipe is delicious with soup or salad. It is a delicious recipe with star ingredients zucchini and Cheddar. The secret to this recipe is to wrap grated zucchini in a paper towel and squeeze until some of the liquid drains. The zucchini doesn’t need to be completely dried out. Stop once a tablespoon of liquid or so has drained out.  

Prepping this quick bread is really easy too. Start by mixing flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Combine milk and vinegar until the milk curdles a bit. Mix in melted butter and egg. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture. Take care not to over mix or the bread won’t rise. Next, add grated zucchini, cheese, and onions. Mix until just combined and transfer the batter to a prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in the pan before removing carefully to cool on a wire rack.

To make Savory Zucchini Cheddar Quick Bread, you will need the following ingredients:

I made this Savory Zucchini Cheddar Quick Bread last week for my family dinner. It's simple and so tasty, perfect with soup. When my son helped me mix the batter, we laughed as we added in the zucchini. Everyone loved it, and I will definitely make this again.
