Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese (sharp or mild)
• 1.25 cups Whole milk
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 3 tablespoons Green onions (optional, chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and green onions (if using) until evenly distributed.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and Dijon mustard until smooth.

Step 6

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently folding with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
