Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables and Cheese
- 1 cup shredded zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
- ½ cup chopped green onions
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Batter
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Shred the zucchini, chop the green onions, and shred the cheddar cheese. Drain excess moisture from the zucchini by squeezing it in a clean kitchen towel to prevent a soggy bread.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and vegetable oil until combined. In another bowl, combine the flour with a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of baking powder (optional for better rise). Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a smooth batter forms.
- Fold in Vegetables and Cheese: Gently fold the shredded zucchini, chopped green onions, and shredded cheddar cheese into the batter, ensuring an even distribution without overmixing to keep the bread light.
- Bake Until Set: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined 8×4 inch loaf pan. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown. Allow the bread to cool slightly before removing from the pan.
Notes
- Be sure to drain zucchini well to avoid excess moisture.
- You can substitute olive oil or melted butter for vegetable oil.
- For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free flour blend.
- This bread can be served warm or at room temperature.
- Store leftovers wrapped in foil or an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
