Ingredients

1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini, do not drain
3 Tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
2 large eggs
3/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup melted butter, cooled slightly
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried basil

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Spray a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Mix zucchini, chives, eggs, sour cream, butter. Stir in melted butter to the mixture.
To another bowl, combine all the dry ingredients - flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, onion powder and basil.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. The batter should be thick. If there's still dry pockets, add a tablespoon of sour cream or an additional egg.
Spoon the batter into the prepared dish.
Bake in oven for 50 minute or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the zucchini cheese quick bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, before removing to a cooling rack to continue cooling.
Eat as is or smeared with butter.

Notes

Do not squeeze the excess moisture out of the zucchini.

Use a box grater or a shredding attachment on a food processer.

1 block of cheese equals 8 ounces. I prefer to start with a block, but bagged, shredded cheese works too. Use 2 cups of bagged shredded cheese.

I prefer to use sharp cheddar cheese or extra sharp cheddar cheese. If desired, use your favorite type of cheese.
