Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 2 large Eggs Flax eggs work as a vegan alternative.
  • 1 cup Milk Almond or oat milk can be used for a dairy-free option.
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil Can be swapped with melted butter or coconut oil.
  • 1/2 cup Yogurt Greek or dairy-free yogurt makes a great substitution.
For the Dry Mix
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Gluten-free baking blend is a suitable alternative.
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder Ensure it’s fresh for optimal results.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Can be adjusted or omitted for low-sodium diets.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Fresh minced garlic can be used instead.
For the Flavor
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Consider any melty cheese or a dairy-free type.
  • 1/2 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes Use oil-packed for the best flavor and texture.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Basil Leaves Dried basil works in a pinch.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×4-inch loaf pan, lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy, then add in the milk, olive oil, and yogurt, whisking until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder, whisking thoroughly to eliminate lumps.
  4. Gently pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  5. Fold in the mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, and basil leaves until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for even baking.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
