Bacon Gruyere Cheese Bread
While many bacon breads use cheddar, this delightful bread uses Gruyere, which is a sweet and salty cheese that pairs perfectly with bacon. It’s harder than cheddar and melts fantastically.
Ingredients
- Butter to grease your bread pan
- 2 medium onions chopped
- ½ pound bacon
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 2 tsp. kosher salt
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- 1 cup whole milk
- ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 egg
- 2 cups shredded Gruyère
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 and butter your bread loaf pan.
- Cook the bacon, and use the drippings to sauté the onions.
- Chop the bacon when it’s done.
- Combine the dry ingredients in one large bowl and the wet ingredients, without the onions, cheese and bacon, in another.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and combine. Don’t over mix.
- Gently fold in the cheese, onions, and bacon and pour into your prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 45 minutes. Enjoy!
Notes
You can alter this recipe to use cheddar if you prefer a creamier cheese.
