  • 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper or white pepper for a subtler taste
  • 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper optional for spiciness

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, olive oil, and eggs until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter should be lumpy.
  5. Fold in the shredded cheese, olives, and thyme until evenly distributed.
  6. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown and a skewer comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
