Returning to FFWD finally and what a week to come back to it – this savory cheese and chive bread will be a wonderful addition to my friends’ dinner party tonight. This is a beautiful quick bread recipe that allows for easy additions of whatever you like.
I used Old Amsterdamer and Gruyere cheese, added sundried tomatoes, pine nuts, fresh thyme and rosemary
caramelized onions and a clove of garlic (cooked with a splash of white wine)
and also made little bite-size ‘biscuit’ versions:
Hopefully it will be a hit at the party!
See what all the other FFWDers made.

Tricia says
You are so right about picking a good week to return – easy and lovely results. I love what you selected as additions and have not seen or thought of the carmelized onions – particularly great idea with the texture they would lend. Wonderful post. Good luck with next weeks !
saffronandhoney says
Thanks, Tricia! The onions are terrific in it, if you give it a try next time – definitely recommended.
Cher says
Great thought on the caramelized onions. I am sure they played off the other flavors really well. It certainly helped to product a lovely loaf.
saffronandhoney says
Thanks, Cher! Everyone at the party devoured it happily:)

Your bread looks great! I made muffins as well! The pic of the onions caramelising looks sooo good!
saffronandhoney says
I turned around and all the mini-muffins were gone in an instant! 🙂
The onions were definitely a great thing to add, both in terms of texture and taste.

Yours is my favorite combination I’ve read about with this recipe. You had me with the initial list, but the caramelized onions clinched it. Nice job!
saffronandhoney says
Thanks, Betsy! I was really happy with the flavors and everyone at the party loved the bread too.
Candy says
Love your changes to this one! Of course, I am a sucker for anything with caramelized onions.

Thanks, Candy! It turned out to be a winning combination.
