Cheddar Casserole Bread

I stole this recipe for Cheddar Casserole Bread from Fresh from the oven Breads & Rolls: From Taste of Home who stole it from Marillyn Miner from Santa Margarita, California. This cheddar bread is a super easy quick bread! Everything is mixed in one bowl and spooned into the baking dish. When you make Cheddar Casserole Bread you end up with a cheesy biscuit textured bread that is great with soups and salads or as a snack.

“Food is our common ground, a universal experience.” – James Beard (see more quotes in the Quotes tab)

In a bowl, combine 2 ½ cups flour, 1 tbsp baking powder and ¼ tsp salt. Add ¾ cup milk, ½ cup mayonnaise and 1 beaten egg.

Mix just until combined.

Add in 2 cups  shredded cheddar cheese.

Fold in the cheese. Spoon into a greased 9-in round baking pan.

Bake at 425 F for 20-25 min or until toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

Cool for 4 minutes before slicing.

Recipe Notes

The recipe had a big note to NOT use reduced fat or low fat mayonnaise in the recipe. I used reduced fat mayonnaise because that is what I had and I was not going to buy full fat mayonnaise for a ½ cup. The recipe came out fine with reduced fat mayonnaise. So I’m not sure why there was that note, but I’m passing the note along.
