Chunky Bacon and Apple Cheddar Bread
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 5 slices thick cut bacon turkey or beef
- 2 Tb butter
- extra virgin olive oil see instructions
- 1 ¾ c all-purpose flour
- 1 Tb baking powder
- ½ teaspoon fine salt
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3 eggs
- ⅓ c milk
- 1 apple diced (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- ⅔ c shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
- To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8.5 x 4.5 inch loaf pan and set it aside for now.
- Cook the turkey or beef bacon with the butter. When the bacon is cooked, place it on a plate that is lined with paper towels, but reserve the drippings.
- Pour the drippings into a measuring cup and add enough extra virgin olive oil to measure 1/3 cup. Set that aside for now.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and cayenne pepper. Stir these together and set aside.
- In your mixing bowl, beat the eggs, milk, and the drippings & oil blend together. Add in your dry ingredients and mix until jut combined. Dice the apple, cut the bacon into strips, and shred the sharp cheddar cheese. Add these all to the mixing bowl and stir them into the thick batter.
- Spread the batter into your loaf pan. Bake for 40 minutes and then carefully cover the loaf with a sheet of aluminum foil to prevent over browning. Bake another 10-15 minutes or until the loaf tests done when a wooden pick is inserted into the center.
- Cool the bread in the pan on a wire rack for about 10 minutes. Then remove it from the pan and cool completely.
- Enjoy!
