    I'm a big fan of making quick bread's. Typically they are a simple one-bowl recipe and from sweet to savory, the variety is almost endless! This Bacon Cheese Jalapeno Quick Bread makes a scrumptious sandwich bread, soup dipper, morning toast or snack.

    Bacon Quick Bread

    To be completely honest, I am a wimp when it comes to yeast because I'm both nervous about making yeast bread and lazy.

    Seeing how I am not much of a planner and I am definitely a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants cook I want what I want when I want it and just don't want to wait for my dough to rise since I probably didn't plan ahead.

    I stick to quick bread like my "famous" Sweet Irish Soda Bread even the TODAY show featured it, Banana Streusel Bread, Cranberry Lime Soda Bread, and No Yeast Caramel Apple Bread.

    Why You'll Love This Quick Bread Recipe

    • No yeast necessary for cheesy bacon bread recipe.
    • It goes with just about everything. And in addition to it being delicious hot from the oven, it makes a fabulous grilled cheese!
    • You can even make the dough and make as drop biscuits instead of a bread which I do often.
    • It's easy, after all it is a quick bread!!

    What Is A Quick Bread?

    Miriam Webster defines a quick bread as any type of bread leavened with leavening agents other than yeast or eggs.

    One of the advantages of a quick bread is their ability to be prepared quickly and reliably, without requiring the time, effort and climate control needed for traditional yeast breads. This Pepperoni Bread Recipe is another quick bread fav of my family.

    How Do You Make Bacon Jalapeno Quick Bread?

    Start with cooking your bacon, after that add your ingredients, mixing gently as you do. No mixer necessary.

    Making a quick bread is best done with a spatula by hand so your batter doesn't become overworked.

    Important Note: The more you mix it, the more rubbery and dense your quick bread will be. All you want to do as you add in your ingredients is gently stir/fold the mixture until moist and just incorporated which will yield you softer, more tender bread.

    Tips

    • After you make this Bacon Cheese Jalapeno Bread you, of course, want to dive right in and enjoy a warm piece with a smattering of good butter because...YUM!.
    • After that, slice on the thicker side and use for things like toast it for breakfast, use for sandwiches or cut into nice thick cubes for dips or enjoy as is.
    • I like to put this toasted cubes out on cheese boards and charcuterie boards.
    • This Cheesy Jalapeno Bread with bacon makes an amazing grilled cheese, just butter and grill both sides, inside and out. Once the inside is grilled, add your cheese and top with the other slice and grill until cheese is melted.
    • And good news, you can also choose to make this recipe as muffins or drop biscuits.

    Can You Freeze Quick Bread?

    I have not frozen this Bacon Cheese Jalapeno Quick Bread Recipe myself since it is always gobbled up, however, I can't see why you can't freeze it. Just wrap it tightly in foil in slices, place in a freezer bag and take out a slice when you wish to enjoy it.

    Heat a slice in the oven until warmed through or crisped up, depending on how you enjoy it.

    Delicious Easy Bacon Cheese Jalapeno Quick Bread Recipe

    Variations

    • Make these as Bacon Jalapeno Cheese Biscuits. Use a cookie scoop or ice cream scoop (if you want them large) and bake on parchment paper linked baking sheet at 400 degrees. Bake time will depend of the size you make.
    • Omit the jalapenos or the scallions (not both) if there is one you don't like.
    • Omit the bacon (gasp!!) for Jalapeno Cheese Bread.
    • Change up the cheese for different flavors.
    • Add red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.

    AND if you love bacon as much as I do...BACON!!! Check out my Bacon Jam. It is life altering lol!

    I make it for gift-giving, I spread it on burgers, top green beans with it, put a dollop on my friend eggs, on toast and muffins...even on ice cream and of course I eat it right off the spoon!

    Ingredients
      

    • 12-14 slices of cooked good quality bacon crumbled
    • 3 cups flour
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 1 TBS baking powder
    • 1 TBS sugar
    • 2 cups shredded cheese I use 1 cup Monterey Jack and 1 cup cheddar, I have also done ½ Mozzarella and ½ cheddar
    • 2 jalapenos diced (remove seeds for less heat)
    • 2 scallions sliced thin optional
    • 1 egg
    • 1 ½ cups whole milk
    • 1 TBS melted butter

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a loaf pan (9x5 or 9x6)
    • Cook your bacon until crisp. Blot grease, cool and crumble. Set aside.
    • Whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar. Set aside.
    • In your main bowl, mix together shredded cheese(s), jalapenos, scallions and bacon. Mix just until combined.
    • Add flour mixture to the cheese mixture along with the egg, milk and melted butter and mix just until combined.
    • Bake in a greased loaf pan for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly dry.

    Notes

    You can also make these as drop biscuits on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Use a cookie or ice cream scoop and bake at 400 degrees until done (bake time will vary based on size of your biscuits). 
    An extra flavorful tip is to brush the biscuits with garlic butter (melted butter and garlic paste or garlic powder) just as they come out of the oven, YUM!
    I used to add 4 oz of room temperature cream cheese to the dough however I have stopped doing that since prices are high at the grocer and I really don't think the quick bread needs it (makes it heavier). Up to you.

        YOu could use canned chilies which really would be for color and texture. Blot them dry before adding them to the bowl. Fresh jalapenos may give a little kick, depending on the jalapeno, which is what I like.

        I can't see why not, I just haven't done it. I might just add an egg yolk (just the yolk) for richness since the milk is a little watered down. Just a thought.

      Hi Donna, I just did some research and the answer is yes. From Bob's Red Mill - The biggest difference between the two flours to remember while baking, is that bread flour has a higher protein content which leads to more stability, form, and rise in the dough allowing it to lift and hold shape, whereas all-purpose flour has a lower protein content resulting in lighter, more crumbly breads.Good luck!

      Do you think I could use buttermilk instead of whole milk? I bought some for banana bread and have plenty left over

        Sure! I love baking with buttermilk, add in a TBS or so of sugar to offset the sourness that buttermilk can bring.

      This looks amazing!! Would I be able to substitute gluten free flour for this recipe? I have a gluten allergy. I currently have Bobs Red Mill Gluten Free 1:1 Baking Flour.
      Thanks

        Hi Kara, I would think so, however, I am not experienced with GF flours. If you are, just follow whatever additions you typically make to a quick bread or biscuits (if any) when you use GF flour. Good luck!

        It is not necessary, I just think it adds something to it, a little sweetness I look for in quick breads. I also add sugar to my Cheesy Pepperoni Bread.

      Wondering what the baking time would be if you make muffins instead of in the loaf pan......Also, would you change the baking temperature to 400 degrees?

        I usually make drop biscuits from this batter as well, baked at both 375 and 400 (depending what was going on in my oven at the time). They come out even better than the bread in my opinion. I have not tried these as muffins, if you do let me know how they turn out. Served with some jalapeno honey butter would be amazing!

        Hmmm, well you can always line the pan with parchment papaer and the lift the loaf out. I often do that when baking quick breads since they can be heavy with cheese. Hope it helps!

        Great to hear Katie. Love your twist. I actually JUST adjust the recipe the other day. It used to say 1 tsp of salt, I feel that with the cheese and salted melted butter 1/4 is enough however we all like it differently. (I personally an a salt monster!! Love it!)

      Just made this bread last night and I cannot stop snacking on it! Luv all the flavors of the bacon, scallions and jalapenos running through each slice. I did not have enough regular milk and used about some half-and-half with no issue. Placing some slices in the freezer so I can enjoy this bread in the next few months as well.

      This was the most amazing bread! Made it exactly as your recipe, except I used pickled, sliced Jalapeno as that's what I had and it was phenomenal. Slathered it with smashed avacado and topped it with sunny side up egg. Sliced bread and froze on baking sheet and then put into bag and back in freezer. Toasted frozen slices on pan in toaster oven, and bottom was so crisp as well as top. A little dense, didn't rise as much as your photo, but think I mixed too long - making again today and will mix more gently as you instructed! THANK YOU!!!!

      recipe was good but very bland, I would add more salt and some garlic powder to the mix. The dough was dense even though I added 1 extra egg. I baked it in muffin tin. got 18 good sized muffins. baked at 400 degrees for 15 min. everything else was very good, texture and rise. Will make again but will add more glamor to the batter.
