Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 cup whole milk
• 2 large eggs
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1.5 cups Pepper Jack cheese, shredded
• 0.25 cup green onions, finely chopped

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and ground black pepper until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the shredded Pepper Jack cheese and chopped green onions until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

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

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

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature as a savory snack or side dish. Enjoy!
