- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Coat a 9x5 loaf pan with non-stick spray. Using a pastry brush, brush the spray oil all over the loaf pan to make sure it is covered up the sides and in the corners. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt until combined. Add in the cheddar cheese and stir it together so the cheese is coated with the flour mixture. Set aside.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and egg; pour into the dry mixture and stir it until just combined (a few dry spots are okay). Add in the melted butter and mix it in until everything is combined and there are no dry patches.
-
Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top.
-
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
While the bread is baking, make the topping: whisk together the butter, garlic powder, salt, onion powder and parsley.
-
Remove loaf pan from the oven and set on a wire rack to cool slightly. Immediately brush the bread with the butter topping.
-
Let the bread cool for 5 minutes in the pan then take it out of the pan and cool completely on the wire rack.
-
Slice and serve.
