Ingredients
  

1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a mix of your favorites)

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 large eggs

1/3 cup olive oil

1/4 cup milk

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)

Chopped fresh herbs (like basil or parsley) for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Zucchini: Start by grating the zucchini. Place it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture. This step is crucial for avoiding a soggy bread.

    Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

      Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.

        Blend the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Stir in the olive oil and milk until well combined.

          Combine Everything: Add the grated zucchini and shredded cheese to the wet mixture. Then, gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

            Transfer to Loaf Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle a little extra cheese on top if desired.

              Bake: Place the loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.

                Cool & Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
