A simple zucchini quick bread that's bursting with cheddar cheese!

Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 1 hour
Total: 1:10

Mix the zucchini, green onions, eggs, sour cream, and butter well 
before mixing in the cheese.

Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and pour the batter 
into a greased 9x5" loaf pan.Note: *

Bake in a preheated 350F/180C oven until a toothpick pushed into the 
center of the bread comes out clean, about 50 to 70 minutes.

Let cool a bit before running a knife around the inside edge of the 
pan, removing the loaf, slicing

and enjoying topped with melted butter.

Note: *The zucchini is the source of some of the liquid for this 
recipe so after you shred the zucchini do not squeeze out or drain 
off any of it's liquid. Because zucchini has different amounts of 
liquid, if your batter ends up being too thick to pour into the pan, 
feel free to mix in 1-2 tablespoons of milk or water.

Option: Replace the sour cream with buttermilk (or milk) and squeeze 
as much extra liquid out of the zucchini as you can.

Option: Omit the green onions.

Option: Add one or more herbs like chives, parsley, dill, etc.

Option: Add 2 tablespoons parmigiano reggiano (parmesan cheese) for 
even more cheese flavour!

Option: Use a different kind of cheese like gruyere!

Option: Sprinkle an additional 1/2 cup shredded cheese on top of the 
batter before baking to have a nice cheese covered top!

Tip: I enjoy warming this bread up a little and slathering on butter 
to melt into it when serving! Yum!

Tip: Use medium sized zucchini with a width/diameter of around 1.5-2" 
or less. (Thicker zucchini have a lot more liquid in them.)
