Maureen found this recipe in her "Good Housekeeping" book, I can vouch for it's yumminess, and it "keeps" quite well.

225g (8 oz) self raising white flour
7.5ml (1.5 level tsp) salt
5ml (1 level tsp) mustard powder
5ml (1 level tsp) snipped fresh chives
15ml (1 tbsp) chopped fresh parsley
75g (3 oz) double Gloucester or mature Cheddar cheese, grated
1 egg, beaten
25g (1 oz) butter or block margarine, melted

Grease a 450g (1 lb) loaf tin. Mix the flour, salt and mustard in a bowl and stir in the herbs and cheese. Add the, 150ml (0.25 pint) water and melted butter and stir until well blended. Spoon into the loaf tin and bake in the oven at 190C (375F) mark 5 for about 45 minutes. Turn out and cool on a wire rack. Serve sliced and buttered while still warm.

I make cheese bread (with cheddar cheese) from the recipe in "The Joy of Cooking" and it's marvelous. Great toasted/buttered for breakfast - yummmmmm.... (even better than fresh, IMHO) Cheese bread is one of DD's favorites, so she usually gets a loaf for her BD.

Also nice in grilled cheese sandwiches for super cheesy taste. But a thick slice of cheese toast is the BEST. (For the 'Mercans: also good for grilled cheese: slice a frozen piece of Texas Toast in half, so you get two very, very thin slices, insert cheese, grill - viola! Grilled cheese on garlic toast! Add thin slice of tomato and some oregano/basil for a *really* yummy treat.)

That's heaven on a plate. Now I'm sorry I already had dinner.

OK, you guys know I have to cook low-carb, right?? I am now drooling all over this spiffy new keyboard. I like food, I enjoy cooking food, and if I can be different in my cooking, I do it. DH LOVES my soups...they are not replaceable..."Glory be to leftovers".

When we had a bread maker before it stopped working DH used to make rosemary bread at my request. It was my favourite bread. Our fresh tomatoes on the vine have just about finished now.
