Last week we had excessive amounts of jalapenos and I was going to visit my grandpa (Nonno) who is jalapeno’s number one fan so I decided to spice up some zucchini bread with jalapenos and add some cheese in for good measure. He approved.
- 4 jalapenos
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup grated zucchini
- 1/2 cup grated asiago
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- pre-heat oven to 350°F and line a bread pan with parchment paper or butter or cooking spray
- whisk eggs, oil, sugar and vanilla extract in a large bowl until smooth
- whisk flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and nutmeg
- make a well in center of dry ingredients, add egg mix and slowly combine, then fold in zucchini
- de-seed jalapenos and dice them, then add them into dough along with grated cheese
- bake for about 70 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean
