Step-by-step instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to avoid sticking.
- In a blender, combine the milk, oil, and eggs. Blend on medium speed for about 10-15 seconds or until everything is well combined.
- Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder to the blender. Pulse or blend on low speed just until combined—overmixing can lead to a denser loaf.
- Pour the batter into a large mixing bowl. Gently stir in the shredded cheese, diced bell pepper, and fresh herbs using a spatula.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan. If desired, sprinkle some extra cheese on top for added flavor and a delightful crust.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack. This bread is best served warm, but it’s just as delightful at room temperature!
