Quick Parmesan Cheddar Cheese Bread – Quick, simple bread made with Parmesan and cheddar cheeses. The perfect addition to any meal. Serve alone or with honey or butter. It’s delicate and tasty!
This bread is AMAZING. Oh my awesome. As cheese lovers you can assume that this stuff vanishes in my house. I told you I love to bake. And when I get to bake with something that includes cheese… Oh my, stars in my eyes.
Do you see this stuff? Maybe you can’t tell in the picture how perfect and tender it is. Can bread be tender? I don’t know. But I just declared this cheese bread tender.
This cheese bread is super simple. No yeast. No rising time.
This bread goes great with the many soups I’ve been posting like this yummy Sausage, Potato and Kale soup , this hearty Beef Barley soup or this filling Chicken Rice Soup.
I would actually even possibly invite you over for dinner and serve you this and only this. I could probably get away with it. You would be enjoying it so much that you wouldn’t even remember there wasn’t a main course. Haha. That wouldn’t happen.
My husband would be like, “Mel, where’s the meat? A man needs meat.” Forget the bread. Forget the dessert. A man needs his meat. Are the men in your life like that? I try to serve up a vegetarian meal every now and then and all is well. Two nights in a row. Forget it. I’m definitely hearing the meat mantra.
Don’t forget to check back later this week. I have another yummy soup up my sleeve. This one involves pepperoni, sausage and mozzarella cheese. It’s a winner for sure!
*Side note* See that wooden cutting board in the photos? My sweet 11 year old picked this out for me for Christmas. This momma ain’t never say no to kitchen tools. In fact I request them, list them and hope for them. Sigh, I’m such a bore. Well, at least it keeps me out of trouble. *smile*

I bet this would make the most ultimate grilled cheese! Can you imagine? Oh the cheesy goodness. And that is so sweet your son got you that cutting board. Love that.
I can only imagine. Wait. No. I can go make one right now. 🙂
I never made homemade bread before but it is on my blogging to-do list!! very impressed with your results, looks fantastic!
This would be a great place to start. Simple and no rising time. Give it a whirl! 🙂
I’m not much of a baker but I’m thinking I could totally handle this! Looks really good (and cheesy!) 🙂
You definitely could. It’s really simple. Let us know how it turns out for you! Thanks for stopping by.
This bread needs to be my best friend.. forever. AMAZING.

Thanks. I’m definitely gonna be scheming up some grown-up grilled cheese with this bread.
A cutting board is such a great gift. You can never have too many, especially when you’re constantly using them for food styling. 🙂 this bread looks wonderful and I love that it has no yeast. Can’t wait to see your soup recipe!
Thanks Christin. That’s right. You can never have too many. Soup recipe is up. Check it out. 🙂
Melanie, I would TOTALLY come to your house for dinner and just eat this bread as the main course! My hubby is like yours, no meat = its not food. They can sit there and commiserate!

Sounds like a plan Taylor! When are you coming over? 🙂

Love cheese bread, and this one looks really good. It looks like a delicious side for so many types of meals. You should be proud…your eleven year old got you a great gift, and now you’ve shown just how much you love it by using it in your photo! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for stopping by Jodee!
You’re right, this seriously looks amazing! Thanks for sharing on the weekend re-Treat Link Party!
Thanks Britni!
i have tried this recipe but it just don’t work. The texture is gooey. it doesn’t looks like cake or bread. it just doesn’t rise. I followed exactly the measurement. I used all purpose flour. should I use cake flour instead?
I’m so sorry it didn’t work out for you!
One thing to note is that the recipe says deep golden brown. Because of the lighting in my picture it looks lighter than it should be.
The first time I made this recipe I too had a gooey center because it wasn’t baked long enough. If you attempt to make it again go by the deep brown color verses the time mentioned.
Hope you decide to give another go!
