Cheesy Quick Bread With Olives and Ham

I don’t know about you, but I love bread in any form or shape. It makes me feel safe and satisfied.

I should eat less, I know, and I try. However, there is nothing better than a warm slice of freshly baked bread with butter or chunks of bread dipped in good soup or a stew. 

To see how much I love a good piece of bread, take a look at some of my recipes.

This quick bread is a winner in my book. I found it perfectly served with appetizers, salads, or just as a snack. Make it on a lazy weekend, and the dough is easy to make and with no effort.

It could be a great fun item for a picnic or a short trip. How about an Easter or a Mother’s Day meal? Brunch? 

As you can see, you don’t need a special occasion to make the bread. It is a recipe that you will come back to over and over again because it is that good.

What ingredients do you need for this specific version of the bread:

• All-purpose flour
• Baking powder
• Large eggs
• Vegetable oil
• Dry white wine (yum)
• Green or black pitted olives
• Ham/Bacon/ Spanish chorizo – buy pre-cooked ham and dice it. If you use bacon, it needs to be cooked and crumbled for even distribution in the batter.
• Bell pepper chopped small– whatever kind you like. I prefer red bell pepper for sweetness, but, really, anything works.
• Mild cheddar cheese
• Salt and pepper

What other ingredients you can use for this bread

First of all, this is a very versatile bread as you can use all or just a few ingredients based on your taste, budget, availability, or dietary needs.

• Green onions diced small.
• Sun-dried tomatoes
• Mushrooms- fresh or from a can (drain them well)
• Asparagus (fresh or frozen)
• Spinach (fresh or frozen- but needs to be drained really well)
• Gruyere cheese instead of mild cheddar, goat cheese, Swiss cheese, Monterey cheese, or any cheeses you like.

As you can see, it is indeed a versatile recipe. This bread is definitely an opportunity to clean up the fridge and use all kinds of leftovers, from cold cuts to vegetables and cheese. 

Whatever you use, good-quality ingredients will make a difference in the final product. Always, no matter what kind of recipe you make!

Remember, cooking is love made visible, and also, there is no good food made out of bad ingredients.

You also don’t need any fancy utensils, like a mixer, for example.

There is also no kneading. You just have to mix the dry ingredients with the wet ones and dump everything into a  baking pan. How easy is that?

Can you freeze this quick bread?

Yes, you can. It freezes beautifully and reheats well too. 

This bread is an opportunity to clean up the fridge and use up all kinds of leftovers, from cold cuts to vegetables and cheese. 

Enjoy! Happy baking!
