This savory Bacon Cheddar and Onion Quick Bread is the perfect side for any dinner. No kneading, no rising, just quick & easy with plenty of cheese and bacon & just the right amount of heat!
Today I am guest posting over at My Cooking Spot and featuring this delicious savory Bacon Cheddar and Onion Quick Bread that is just to-die-for. I haven't made many savory quick breads, sticking instead to my favorites like Nutella Banana Bread or Chocolate Chunk Zucchini Bread, but this one has changed my mind forever on savory breads - it was awesome! (really, I'm not kidding!)
It is so easy to make, requires no kneading or rising, and has just the right amount of heat. The heat comes from jalapeno pepper and a dash of cayenne pepper while the richness comes from buttermilk and cheese. And what could be better than the addition of bacon - after all, everything is better with bacon in it!
So hop on over to My Cooking Spot or check out the recipe below and see for yourself how you can make this delicious savory bread.
