Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 stick Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
• 2 units Large eggs
• 3 units Fresh jalapenos (diced, seeds removed for less heat)
• 1.5 cups Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 units Green onions (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and eggs until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the diced jalapenos, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions.

Step 6

Spread half of the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with a spatula until smooth. Spread the cream cheese in an even layer over the batter in the loaf pan.

Step 8

Spread the remaining half of the bread batter on top of the cream cheese layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

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 11

Slice the bread and serve warm, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
