First Presbyterian served a delicious meal of beef and spaghetti casserole, tossed salad, rolls and banana pudding to 40 guests. A special thanks to our team leader today who took off from work to donate her time and talents.

Zucchini and Cheese Bread

Here is a recipe we used one Friday. We took the recipe and made muffins. Great way to use your zucchini!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup zucchini, grate and squeezed dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture
• 1 tablespoon onion, minced or grated(we omitted the onions)
  
• 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375F and grease an 8x4 inch bread pan or use muffin tins if you want muffins.

Sift flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl. Then cut in the butter using a pastry blender or using two knives. When the mixture is the consistency of crumbs mix in the cheese.

In another bowl, mix together the eggs and milk. Then stir in the zucchini, onion and mustard. Then add all the dry ingredients. Mix until the dough holds together (don't over-mix) and spoon the dough into your greased pan.

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. The bread should be risen and brown when it is done. To test whether the bread is done stick it with a long tooth pick. It should come out clean.
