    With no yeast involved, this Cheesy Jalapeno Quick Bread comes together in a snap and packs a punch of undeniable Southwestern flavor.

    Quick Bread Recipe with Jalapeno and Cheese

    There's no need to be a master bread baker when it comes to making this delicious Cheesy Jalapeno Quick Bread. Since the rising agent in this bread is baking powder only, it's ready in a fraction of the time of a typical yeast bread.

    Quick bread with cheese and peppers

    While the crumb of this bread is moist and dense (thanks to all that wonderful Monterey Jack cheese), the crust is light and crispy.

    To me, it's the best of both worlds, and one of the easiest bread I've ever made. I just know you're going to love it, and since it can be on the dinner table in about an hours time, it works well for weeknights and weekends when you want to impress, but you don't have the luxury (or desire) to spend several hours on preparation.

    Quick Bread with Monterey Jack Cheese and Jalapenos

    Whisk all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, cayenne, and black pepper in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, combine milk, melted butter, egg, and Greek yogurt. Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir to combine.

    How to make Cheesy Jalapeno Quick Bread

    Add the fire roasted jalapenos, stir, and add the shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray.

    Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 60 minutes. That's it 🙂

    Monterey Jack Quick Bread Recipe

    This bread won rave reviews from my family the night I served it. Even though it doesn't need butter, a light spreading of sweet cream butter really added an exclamation point to this wonderful Cheesy Jalapeno Quick Bread! After all, everything's better with butter 🙂

      Renee, this bread has great potential. However, I find it to be a bit flat in flavor. Perhaps a tad more salt; maybe a teaspoon of sugar. Did you consider using
      pepper jack cheese or half jack and sharp cheddar instead of cayenne?
      Also, do you drain the canned chiles? Will try again with more salt! Thanks for
      all your efforts in developing great recipes.

      This bread looks incredible! Would I possibly be able to substitute the greek yogurt with sour cream? I have everything on hand except the yogurt!

        Yes, Vanessa. I find the two ingredients completely interchangeable. You'll have complete success with either. Go for it! Thanks for asking 🙂

      This is everything I would want in a bread!! My non-vegetarian husband would probably love me even more by adding some bacon 🙂

        My husband would appreciate bacon in it too, Kacey. Maybe next time 🙂

      This is a toss up for me: do I love the "quick" part, or do I love these fabulous ingredients?! Can I take both?? Love this!

        Yes you can have both. No need to choose 🙂
