Vegetable Bread

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup milk (can use any kind)
  2. 2 eggs (beaten)
  3. ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  4. 2.5 cups all purpose flour
  5. 2 teaspoons baking powder
  6. ½ teaspoon baking soda
  7. ½ teaspoon salt
  8. 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  9. 1 cup grated zucchini (no need to squeeze out the water)
  10. ½ cup diced fresh tomatoes (any kind, seeds and pulp removed before dicing)
  11. ½ cup thinly sliced green onions
  12. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  13. 2 teaspoons minced garlic (from about 2 to 3 cloves)
  14. ¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch loaf pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and olive oil.
  3. In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ones. Stir with a rubber spatula until combined.
  5. Fold in the cheddar cheese, followed by the grated zucchini, diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, chopped basil, and minced garlic. Stir with a rubber spatula until everything is incorporated throughout the batter. The batter will be sticky.
  6. Pour or spoon the batter into the greased loaf pan. Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the toothpick hits a piece of cheese and comes out with melted cheese on it, try again in another spot to ensure that the bread is cooked through.
  8. Let the bread cool for at least 20 minutes before taking it out of the loaf pan. Let it finish cooling on a cutting board or wire cooling rack.
  9. Slice the bread into pieces. Enjoy!
