Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Low sodium baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Low sodium cooked bacon, chopped
• 1 cup Low sodium cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 1 Egg
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, low sodium baking powder, and sugar until well combined.

Step 3

Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped low sodium cooked bacon, shredded low sodium cheddar cheese, and chopped fresh chives. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg until well combined.

Step 6

Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 7

Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.

Step 8

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

Step 10

Carefully remove the bread from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
