Copycat Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Loaf

Made this for dinner last night and everyone just loved it. I think it has the potential to make an amazing grilled cheese sandwich as well.

Copycat Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Loaf

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cups flour

1 Tbl. baking powder

1 Tbl. sugar

1/2 tsp. salt

3 cups cheddar cheese

1 cup milk

1 egg

1/4 cup melted butter

Topping:

1/4 cup melted butter

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

1/8 tsp. dried parsley

1/8 tsp. onion powder

1/8 tsp. salt

Directions:

Mix together dry ingredients. Combine dry ingredients with cheese. In a small bowl, whisk together egg and milk, then add to the dry ingredient/cheese mixture. Combine until just mixed and moistened (do not over mix). Then add 1/4 cup melted butter and mix just until combined (mixture will be thick and chunky). Spread batter in a greased loaf pan (I used my metal one) and bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. Mix together topping ingredients and pour over the top of the hot loaf immediately after it comes out of the oven. Let cool in pan for about 5 minutes and then remove from pan to cool completely before slicing and serving.

*Our loaf did not rise or dome very much and was still perfect.
