Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, chives, or thyme)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup grated zucchini (drained of excess moisture)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Add cheeses and herbs: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped fresh herbs until evenly distributed.
  4. Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the vegetable oil and milk.
  5. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the grated zucchini and chopped green onions.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Drain zucchini well to avoid a soggy loaf. Customize herbs like rosemary or basil for unique flavors. Add sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning for extra texture. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
