Ingredients
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
¾ tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda
1 cup shredded cheese (Colby cheddar blend recommended)
1 cup pepper jelly
⅓ cup butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs
¼ cup whole milk
¼ cup sour cream
2 tbsp granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease or spray a standard 8½” x 4½” loaf pan.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and baking soda. Stir in the shredded cheese.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together pepper jelly, melted butter, eggs, milk, sour cream, and sugar until smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove and cool completely on the rack.
Notes
- Best served with cream cheese, salted butter, or extra pepper jelly.
- Try as French toast—pan-fried in butter, topped with maple syrup and whipped cream cheese.
- Pairs well with chili, chowder, or creamy soups.
