- 1 1/2 cups zucchini, shredded (do not squeeze)
- 1/4 cup green onion, sliced (optional)
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup butter, melted and cooled
- 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, mix zucchini, green onion, eggs, sour cream, and melted butter until combined.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 50–70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool slightly, remove from pan, slice, and enjoy your zucchini cheese bread warm with butter.
Tip: Don’t squeeze the zucchini—it keeps the bread moist.
Variation: Add herbs or swap cheddar for mozzarella to change the flavor of your zucchini cheese bread.
