  • Quickly stir through zucchini.
  • Spread ⅓ of the batter in the loaf pan. Top with 4 slices of cheese.
  • Spread with batter, top with 4 slices of cheese, then finish with remaining batter. Smooth top.
  • Bake for 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  • Optional: Brush top with a bit of melted butter.

  • Store in a container.

Notes

This bread will keep for 4 to 5 days in a container. In hot and humid conditions, wrap with a tea towel instead of using a container and refrigerate after 2 days to prevent mold.
