Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.25 cup Fresh chives, chopped
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then mix in the milk and melted butter.
Step 4
Cut the cream cheese into small chunks and fold it into the dry ingredients along with the chopped chives.
Step 5
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be lumpy.
Step 6
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
