How to make Bacon Cheese & Jalapeno Quick Bread

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees. Ready a 9 x 5 or 9 x 6-inch loaf pan. Grease and set aside.

Step 2: In the meantime, cook the bacon until crisp. Drain the grease. Once the bacon is cool enough to handle, crumble, and set aside.

Step 3: Combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar until well mixed and set aside.

Step 4: Place the cream cheese, shredded cheese(s), jalapenos, and scallions into the main bowl. Add the bacon and mix well until combined.

Step 5: To the cheese mixture, add the flour mixture, egg, milk, and melted butter. Mix well until blended.

Step 6: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.
