Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 8 slices Cooked bacon, crumbled
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1.5 cups Milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large Egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Stir in the crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped chives (if using). Mix until well distributed.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, and beaten egg. Whisk until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.

Step 6

Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.

Step 7

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 8

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy as a snack or alongside soups and salads!
