Making Tuesday Tasty-Ham And Cheese Quick Bread

I love bread, who doesn't really?  I also don't have a lot of great equipment in my kitchen for making baked goods and breads, so this looks like a great fix.  I love quick breads! The possibilities are endless.
Check this one out for your next brunch or make it ahead of time as a different choice for breakfast.

Ingredients

• Nonstick cooking spray
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 1/4 teaspoons dry mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• Pinch cayenne pepper
• 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon milk
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 3 eggs
• One 6-ounce piece deli ham, finely chopped (about 1 1/4 cups)
• 1 cup shredded gruyere cheese, lightly packed (about 3 ounces)
• 1/2 cup finely diced (about 1/4-inch) havarti or gruyere cheese (about 2 ounces)
• 2 scallions, chopped

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 9-by-5-by-3-inch metal loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, 3/4 teaspoon dry mustard, kosher salt and cayenne until combined. In a large bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup milk, the oil, 1 tablespoon honey and the eggs until smooth. Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined. Then fold in the ham, 3/4 cup shredded cheese, the diced cheese and scallions.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the top with the remaining 1/4 cup shredded cheese. Bake until well risen, golden brown and a skewer or cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.

Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small microwave-safe bowl, stir together the remaining 1 tablespoon each honey and milk and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard until smooth. Heat in the microwave until hot and bubbling, 20 to 30 seconds. Turn the loaf onto a wire rack and generously brush with the warm glaze. Cool completely.
