Olive Bacon and Cheese Bread

Olive bacon and cheese bread is savory, rich, and packed with bold flavor. Briny olives, crispy bacon, and melted cheese are folded into a soft, golden loaf that’s perfect as a snack, side dish, or appetizer for gatherings.

Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 large eggs
1/3 cup olive oil
1/2 cup milk
1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup cooked bacon, chopped
1/2 cup sliced olives (black or green)

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Whisk in the olive oil and milk until smooth.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined.

Fold in the shredded cheese, chopped bacon, and sliced olives.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Helpful Tips:
Use sharp cheese for stronger flavor.
Do not overmix to keep the bread tender.
Try adding herbs like rosemary or thyme.

Serving Suggestions:
Serve warm or at room temperature.
Great with soups or salads.
Slice and toast lightly for extra crunch.

Olive bacon and cheese bread is savory, moist, and incredibly satisfying — a flavorful loaf that’s perfect for sharing or enjoying all to yourself. 🫒🥓🧀
