There is no yeast, no kneading and no rise time for this Quick Cheese Bread but there is plenty of cheese!
Nothing beats a good quick bread. Some of our favorites include the BEST banana bread ever! I promise. We also love Zucchini Bread, especially when you add in blueberries. And this Lemon Bread is amazing.
Easy Cheese Bread Recipe
This Quick Cheese Bread is full of cheese goodness. There is cheese in the middle, cheese on top and cheese on the bottom and the bread comes together quickly..
There is nothing more satisfying than cutting into a warm loaf of bread and seeing gooey, delicious cheese inside!
How to Make Quick Cheese Bread
Cheese – I used a sharp Cheddar Cheese which I cut into cubes, these cheese goes into the batter. I also used grated Parmesan cheese on the bottom and top of the bread. I prefer to grate my own cheese as I find it melts better.
The chunks of Cheddar Cheese is added into dry ingredients.
Add in your liquids. The batter is sticky and more like a muffin batter than bread dough. The bottom of your bread pan is sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese.
Then another layer of Parmesan cheese goes on top.
Bake the bread at 350 degrees F. for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown or a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for five minutes and then remove from pan and continue cooling on a baking rack. Or, slice into it and enjoy!
How to Store Cheese Bread
It can be stored in an airtight container and kept on the counter or in the refrigerator and will last for 3-5 days.
What to Serve with Cheese Bread
Pretty much anything! It’s make a delicious sandwich and I especially enjoy it with various pasta dishes such as:

The cheese bread is my next delight to make—

Hi! I stumbled across this yesterday and HAD to make it for dinner! WOW it was delicious! I was anxious to find a recipe that didn’t need to rise or be rolled out on days I want rolls or bread without all the work. 🙂 Because I didn’t plan ahead, I had to use what was on hand, so I didn’t have cubed cheese, but used shredded and it was still yummy. I will try the cube next time though for sure.
I also didn’t measure out the cheese on top or bottom…just put some on, but I think I added too much, because it made cutting hard since it was so deliciously crunchy. 🙂 Still so good, but will measure right next time.
Thanks for such a yummy hit recipe!

Good eyes Taryn! I used 2 percent when I made it but I only had skim milk when the girls made it and I really couldn’t tell any difference!
Taryn says
I think I might have to do this- it looks so good. However, as I was reading the recipe- it says not to use skim milk- but you have a picture of someone pouring skim milk into the mix? I don’t ever buy anything but skim milk-and if you made it with skim- that would be stellar.
