A delightful savory bread featuring zucchini, herbs, and cheese, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
Greasing the pan ensures the loaf doesn't stick, making it easier to remove after baking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, parsley, green onion, and cheddar cheese.
Mixing the dry ingredients thoroughly ensures even distribution of flavors and leavening agents.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, and milk until well combined.
Whisking the wet ingredients thoroughly helps to create a smooth batter.
Add the grated zucchini to the wet mixture and stir to combine.
Squeezing out excess moisture from the zucchini prevents the loaf from becoming soggy.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the loaf light and tender.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Smoothing the top ensures an even rise during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Allowing the loaf to cool prevents it from crumbling when sliced.
Slice and serve the loaf as a snack or side dish.
Serve with a spread of butter or cream cheese for added flavor.
