Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 large egg

Optional

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder, ensuring an even distribution of the leavening and seasoning agents.
  2. Add Cheese: Stir the shredded cheddar cheese into the dry ingredients, mixing well to integrate the cheese throughout the mixture.
  3. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and large egg until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The dough should be thick and slightly sticky but not dry or crumbly.
  5. Heat Skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of butter to prevent sticking.
  6. Form and Cook Dough: Scoop portions of the dough onto the hot skillet, shaping them into small rounds or flatbread-like discs. Flatten each slightly with the back of a spoon to promote even cooking.
  7. Cook Each Side: Cook the cheese bread for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until each side turns a golden brown color and the bread is cooked through inside.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle the cooked cheese breads with chopped fresh parsley before serving for an added fresh flavor and visual appeal.

Notes

  • Use mild or sharp cheddar cheese depending on your flavor preference.
  • Ensure the skillet is not too hot to avoid burning the bread before it cooks through.
  • Chopped fresh parsley adds color and freshness but can be omitted for a simpler bread.
  • This recipe can be doubled or halved easily depending on serving needs.
  • Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
