Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup shredded zucchini
¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
2 eggs
½ cup milk
¼ cup olive oil

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan.
Place flour, Cheddar cheese, green onion, dill, parsley, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and pepper in a large bowl; stir to mix well.
Beat eggs lightly in a separate bowl. Add milk and oil; mix well. Stir in zucchini.
Add zucchini mixture to flour mixture and stir just until batter is moistened; do not overmix. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Leave in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
