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. Whisk together eggs, milk, olive oil, and yogurt in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder thoroughly.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in shredded mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, and basil leaves until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 40–45 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
