I adore quick breads, and Zucchini Cheddar Cheese Herb Bread just happens to be one of my favorite savory bread variations. The flavors are delicious, and it's a great way to use up all the garden zucchini that arrives this time of year. Plus it takes under 10 minutes to toss together, and doesn't require a mixer. The insides soft with notes of your favorite beer, cheddar, garlic, and chives. The outside is deliciously crusty from being cooked in butter.

I've already made two loaves this last week, since it's so easy to make. I'm sure there will be plenty more to come as the temperature drops, and we roll into fall to go with all the soups, stews, and chili's that go with the season.

A little tip: If you have more zucchini than you know what to do with, you can grate it, pre-measure it, and freeze it for later. Just make sure to defrost it before adding it to your favorite Zucchini Bread recipe.

To make the loaf you will need to whisk together 3 cups All-Purpose Flour, 1 tablespoon Baking Powder, 1 teaspoon Salt, and 3/4 teaspoon Granulated Garlic, until well combined.

Add 1 cup Grated Cheddar Cheese, 3/4 cup Grated Zucchini, and 3 tablespoons Chopped Chives. Drizzle 2 tablespoons Honey over the top.

Add 12 ounces of your favorite Beer. I used an IPA.

Stir together until well combined.

Grease a 9"x 5"x 3" loaf pan with butter. Add dough, and spread evenly in pan. Brush 3 tablespoons Melted Butter over the top.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 55-70 minutes, until golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Allow Zucchini Cheddar Cheese Herb Beer Bread to cool completely in pan. Run a knife around edge of pan to remove.
