1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup milk
1/4 cup olive oil
1 egg

- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Notes
Try swapping in different herbs like thyme, dill, or rosemary.
Use alternative cheeses such as Gruyère or pepper jack for different flavors.
Part whole wheat flour can be used for a more rustic texture.
Add garlic powder or sautéed onions for a savory breakfast-style loaf.
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temp or 5 days in the fridge.
To reheat, toast or warm in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 10 minutes.
Freeze individual slices wrapped in plastic for up to 2 months.
