Cheddar Zucchini Bread image

I found this recipe in Chatelaine magazine while sitting in the dentist office. Went home and made 2 of them and took one to work with a huge response for copies so posting here to make again. This bread is awesome when a slice is browned in a pan like a grilled cheese sandwich.

1 cup shredded zucchini
1 1/2 cups flour

1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 cups grated old cheddar cheese
