Best 2 Olive Cheese Quick Bread Recipes

OLIVE - CHEESE QUICK BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients and the cheese; set aside.
• In a medium bowl, lightly beat egg; stir in milk and oil, mixing well.
• Add onion to the egg-milk, mix; then stir into flour mixture--do not over-mix, just get things moist.
• Spoon half of batter into prepared pan. Arrange 28 olives on their sides, 4 rows of 7 olives each.
• Spoon remaining batter over the olives, smoothing the top with the back of the spoon.
• Place remaining 7 olives evenly spaced down the center of the top of the loaf.
• Brush with olive oil (or spray).
• Bake 35-45 minutes until wooden pick comes out clean.
• Let stand 10 minutes---this is really important or the loaf will sort of fall apart when you cut it :-(.
