Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini, drained
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper.
  3. In another bowl, mix the melted butter, sour cream, and eggs until smooth. Stir in the shredded zucchini.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, chives, parsley, and garlic powder.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Drain the shredded zucchini well to avoid excess moisture. For a richer flavor, use a mix of sharp cheddar and Gruyère cheese. Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
