Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
-
Add the chilled butter cubes to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Stir in the grated cheddar cheese, chopped nuts, and fresh parsley until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
-
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs and milk together until well combined.
-
Pour the egg and milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once cooled, slice the Cheese And Nut Loaf into thick slices and serve warm or at room temperature.
