Ingredients

Units Scale
  • Produce:
    • 1 fresh jalapeño (finely chopped, seeds removed for less heat)
    • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Refrigerated:
    • 2 eggs
  • Baking & Spices:
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder
    • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Dairy:
    • 1/2 cup butter (melted)
    • 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
    • 1 cup milk
    • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (grated)

Instructions

  • Preheat & Prep:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients:
    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and onion powder.
  • Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
    • In another bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, and milk until well combined.
  • Combine & Add Cheese:
    • Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
    • Fold in the cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, and chopped jalapeños. Do not overmix.
  • Bake:
    • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
    • Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool & Serve:
    • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
    • Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature!

Notes

  • For extra spice, leave the jalapeño seeds in or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • Use pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar for more kick.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2–3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
