Ingredients
Instructions

- Combine egg, canned milk, and water and stir into the dry ingredients until they are moistened.

- Bake at 350°F for 55 to 60 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using aged sharp Cheddar cheese or a mix of cheeses like Gruyère. If you don't have canned milk, you can substitute with equal parts whole milk and cream or use a non-dairy milk for a vegetarian option. To add a twist, try mixing in herbs like chives or dill, which pair beautifully with this bread.
Serving Suggestions
This Cheddar Cheese Bread is delicious on its own but pairs wonderfully with a bowl of soup or a fresh salad, making it a great side for a light lunch. You can also serve it toasted with butter or alongside a savory spread. For a delightful experience, enjoy it with a slice of Buttermilk Jello for dessert.

Once cooled, wrap the Cheddar Cheese Bread tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to keep it fresh. Store it at room temperature for up to three days, or refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, slice and warm in a toaster oven or microwave until heated through, enhancing the cheesy flavor.
