Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, oregano, and thyme.
  3. Add Cheese: Stir in the shredded cheddar, mozzarella, and grated Parmesan cheese until evenly distributed.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs until well combined.
  5. Mix Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined—do not overmix.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  8. Serve: Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. Cheese Choices: Use freshly grated cheese for the best melt and flavor. You can substitute the cheeses with your favorites, such as Gouda, pepper jack, or Swiss.
  2. Don’t Overmix: Mix the batter until just combined to avoid a dense loaf.
  3. Buttermilk Substitute: If you don’t have buttermilk, mix 1 1/4 cups of milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar and let it sit for 5 minutes.
  4. Herb Variations: Add fresh herbs like rosemary or basil for a fresher flavor.
  5. Serving Suggestion: Serve warm with a pat of butter or alongside soups, stews, or salads.
