Bacon Gruyere Cheese Bread

Sharing is caring!

Bacon Gruyere Cheese Bread is one of our favorite homemade bread recipes. Any recipe that combines bacon and cheese is sure to be a winner at our house! We also love making dill beer bread!

Typically, I make this with Gruyere cheese but when I can't find it, sharp cheddar works too.  Once, I tried adding some portobello mushrooms when I sautéed the onions and used Swiss cheese instead. It was pretty good, according to my family, but I'm not a Swiss cheese fan. It's a very forgiving recipe, so feel free to try different cheese or mix-ins!

Not only is it very forgiving when trying new flavors, but it's also so easy to make! Simply cook the bacon and then saute your onions in the bacon grease.  I like to cook bacon in large batches in the oven to save time throughout the week (we go through a lot of bacon) and then store bacon grease in the fridge for use throughout the week. Mix your dry ingredients in one bowl, wet ingredients in another. Combine together but don't overmix!  Add in your onions, bacon, and cheese.  Bake & enjoy!

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.
