Zucchini Bread with Cheese

Making zucchini bread with cheese is super easy and fun. This quick bread recipe is savory, moist, and great for with brunch, lunch, dinner, or as a savory breakfast toast.

If you don’t think you’d like zucchini bread, this is the recipe for you to try. It’s simple but the zucchini makes it so tender and moist. Quick bread doesn’t require any rising or proofing either so you don’t have to worry about your loaf flopping!

One of the best things about making zucchini bread is that it’s packed with some extra vitamins and minerals without much flavor. Zucchini is mild to begin with so once we add it to a bread recipe with cheese…you don’t even know it’s there!

For those of you with kids who are picky eaters this is another excellent recipe that hides some veggies! You can get them to eat more vegetables without having to argue…they won’t even know it is happening.

If you like using squash in quick bread recipes you need to also try out this sweet lemon squash bread recipe! It uses summer squash instead of zucchini but they’re very similar and I mean…doesn’t your mouth water just looking at it?!

Is quick bread different from regular bread?

Anywho, moving on to the quick bread at hand…yes, quick bread is different from regular bread! Quick bread doesn’t do any proofing or rising really. It’s not like a traditional bread that would require kneading, etc.

The title of quick bread gets thrown onto any recipe that doesn’t use yeast typically! These types of recipes are more like cakes in that they use baking powder, baking soda, or both to rise the dough instead of yeast.

Because they do not need time to proof (rise) with the yeast, they can be completed much more quickly…hence the very clever name that I did not come up with but am perpetuating 😉

What will I need to make zucchini bread with cheese?

Not only is this a quick bread…it’s also a simple one. We’re not using anything super exciting or wild in this recipe. In fact, some of these things you will likely already have on hand.

In addition to the zucchini and the cheese you will need flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, milk, vinegar, eggs, butter, and green onions!

This is a savory bread recipe which is excellent for paring with your favorite salads, dinners, and more. You can also enjoy this as part of a savory breakfast with eggs or veggies. It’s so easy to make you’ll want to enjoy it all summer long as those zucchini become plentiful in the garden!

Kitchen essentials for tasty baking recipes:

When you head into the kitchen to make some of these great recipes you’ll want to have the best tools on hand. We’ll be using a 9×5 loaf pan for this recipe and here are some of my other favorite kitchen tools for baking!

I like half sheet baking pans that are quality (hello no noisy pops or sloshed cookie dough from twisting), I line my cookie sheets with silicone baking mats. These are a must when doing cake mix recipes which can settle and become thin at lot easier than traditional cookie dough. 

Of course mixing bowls, a mixer, spatula, and some whisks should be on your list if you don’t have ones that you love. I also like to have a set of cooling racks so that my recipes can properly cool before they’re scarfed down by my family!
