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.

adding cubed cheese into bread

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:

  • Spaghetti with Meat Sauce
  • Lasagna Casserole
  • Penne Rustica
  • Chicken Spaghetti with Red Sauce

    Keep up this great series of cooking lessons for your college daughter! My daughter is now finished with her first year of college and is living with my dad for the summer. We lost mom not long ago and dad is NOT a cook or baker (but he can BBQ!) She is making dinners for the two of them and she’s now asking me for recipes. I am definitely going to recommend your website. BTW, I tried your Black Angus Garlic Cheese Bread tonight… fantastic! Your photos really are terrific too.

    Just for the record, I have that exact same kitchen scale. I knew I liked you.

    Glad the girls conquered the cheese bread. It is one of my favorite recipes to make with dinner!
