I love making quick breads, like Chocolate Banana Bread or Chocolate Zucchini Bread, but I had never tried making a savory bread. You know, one where something other than fruit, chocolate and sugar are the main stars.
So I finally decided to change that when I found a recipe I knew I could adapt to suit our family’s tastes. It reminded me of the onion pancakes I used to get when I traveled over to Asia but with the added flavors of bacon and cheese. After all, everything is better with bacon in it, right? Oh, and cheese, wait and onion too! I mean, all you have to do is take a look at this bread and know that there is fresh flavor in every bite! How can you resist?
I have to warn you that there is a little kick to this bread from the jalapenos but it’s a nice addition and not overly spicy. You can always cut down on the amount of jalapeno if you prefer something milder.
The best thing about this savory bread is how easy it is to make. It involves no kneading or rising, just a little sautéing and stirring, and comes together in about 15-20 minutes. Pop it in the oven and relax with a glass of wine or plan on something your husband can grill out. See how easy dinner becomes?
It turned out to be one of the best breads I have ever made and my husband totally agrees. Try it for yourself and let me know what you think.
