How to Make 1St Place Fair Cheese Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grease an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pan.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon dry mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted margarine, and 1 cup milk.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Add 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese blend). Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. If desired, sprinkle 1/3 cup chopped onion and 1/4 teaspoon paprika over the top.
  8. Bake for approximately 60-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Check for doneness after 45 minutes.
  9. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing and slicing to serve.
