Instructions
- Preheat and prep: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together flour and baking powder. Mix in sugar, salt, onion powder, Parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, and jalapeños.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.
- Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in melted butter.
- Bake: Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 60-80 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Check at the 45-minute mark and cover with foil if browning too quickly.
- Cool: Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a milder flavor, remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeño before dicing.
- You can use a different type of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack.
- This bread is delicious toasted with butter or served with chili or soup.
