Ingredients/Variations
DRY ingredients are simple, flour, baking powder & salt (and some butter!)
WET Milk & eggs, staples in any kitchen!
CHEESE Cheddar and parmesan cheese are used in this recipe, but feel free to use whatever cheese you have on hand! Swiss, Mozza, or pepper jack!
MIX IT UP
It’s such a versatile quick bread! Add a little garlic powder for an extra zing, or substitute the cheddar for swiss for a whole new flavor profile.
Try adding cooked ham or bacon to your loaf before baking! Jalapenos, olives, or even sun-dried tomatoes would all taste great too.
How to Make Cheese Bread
Super easy homemade cheese bread is a favorite. The steps are similar to that of making biscuits without the rolling.
- Whisk dry ingredients (per recipe below) together. Cut in the butter.
- Add eggs and milk and stir.
- Bake according to recipe or until a wooden pick comes out clean.
What to Serve Cheese Bread With
Cheese bread makes great sandwiches, obviously!
It’s great with any kind of pasta recipe or even toasted and topped with poached eggs for breakfast. Make a great lunch and serve it next to a hearty bowl of tomato soup!
But you can also cut slices into strips and dip into marinara sauce! Or cut it into cubes, bake and make croutons!
How to Store It
Keep cheese bread in an airtight container on the countertop or in the fridge- anywhere it will stay dry and fresh from other odors.
Can It Be Frozen?
- Cheese bread can be frozen as an entire loaf or in separate slices so you can use what you need! Just make sure it is kept airtight.
- To avoid sogginess, ensure the bread is completely cooled before sealing.

This looks yummy. Do you have a conversion for air fryer?
Hi Jenny, we have never made this recipe in the air fryer but we would love to hear know how it turns out for you if you attempt it!
What kind of flour, it doesn’t say in the recipe….
This recipe uses all purpose flour.
Delicious!
I’m making this tonight to go with chicken tortilla soup. Going to add some diced jalapeños to the batter!
Yum! That sounds delicious Sonja!
The best and easiest bread to make.
Can this be made as muffins ? How long to bake ?
Hi Claire, we have this recipe for Cheese muffins that is exactly that! It cooks at 375°F for 16-18 minutes.
Is it ok to use skim milk in the cheese bread recipe?
Hi Judy, it should be okay. We usually use milk with higher fat content, but it should turn out delicious still.
just use water skim bout same thing…lol
I would love to try this recipe, however, I don’t have a butter. Can I replace it with Olive oil? If yes, how much?
Hi Sheryl, we haven’t tried making this recipe with oil but I wouldn’t recommend it. If you do attempt it let us know how it turns out.
Made the cheese bread today, so easy to make and came out great. So delicious too.
