This Zucchini, Green Onion Cheesy Quick Bread couldn’t be any easier! I skipped a step by using Bisquick, (or your favorite baking mix) instead of mixing all the dry ingredients together.

If you are a follower of this little blog of mine, you know that I am crazy about quick breads. You can incorporate just about any fresh or frozen ingredient that you are trying to get rid of. If you have a bundle of parsley or thyme or rosemary in your refrigerator that you have to use up quickly, tthrow it in a savory quick bread and serve it a side with just about any meal.
When using frozen ingredients, make sure you thaw them completely and drain the excess very well or your bread will fall. In the case of the zucchini, I grate them when fresh in the summer and place in food storage bags. If you use this method, you really should wring the excess water out by squeezing in you hands because they store large amounts of water that will ruin your bread.
You know how you come up with a craving that you just can’t shake? I had been craving a grilled ham and cheese lately, but wanted it on a different bread to add some interest. A different texture, mostly.
I used this same recipe in my Cheesy Herbed Muffins, many moons ago. It literally comes together in minutes! It is super moist, yet still fluffy and airy. You can actually see all of the air holes in the photograph.
Zucchini, Green Onion Cheesy Quick Bread Ham and Cheese Grilled Cheese
You must let the bread cool completely before making the grilled cheese. I made the grilled cheese for lunch the next day. Store the bread in a paper bag overnight so that it doesn’t get soggy.
The grilled cheese is equally easy. Just butter one side of the bread and add waterever meat and cheese you would like. I also added roasted peppers to these ones which added a great flavor. Also, then you can tell yourself you are eating something healthy (It makes up for the cheese and the ham. Not sure how that math works, but it works for me!) 🙂
Enjoy! And have fun cooking!! 🙂
This bread is great toasted with butter but also makes a killer grilled cheese sandwich!

It really is a great way to use up what you have in the refrigerator or garden! Thanks for comment Lucy!
I’ve never made a savory zucchini bread but it sounds delicious. Love the onion addition and it would go great with a hearty pasta dish!
I love green onions in just about anything! They add so much flavor! Thanks Karen!
I love all breads, quick and not so quick! This savory bread sounds scrumptious and I can’t wait to make it!
Thank you Elaine! I agree with you! I could honestly eat bread at every meal!
I need to get into quick breads. This looks incredible!
Quick Breads are one of my favorite! They are so easy and delicious! Thanks Brandi!
This is a beautifully done departure to the usual zucchini bread. Saving this for the summer garden overload!

I love how zucchini is so versatile! This bread looks so goood!
I love using zucchini in a variety of dishes! Bread, kind of tops the list, I think! Thanks Liz!
Looks super super quick and very tasty. Not sure we get that mix here though.
You’re favorite baking mix will work. You can also use a scratch quick bread recipe and just add a bit of sugar, instead of a the amount you would use for a sweet bread.
That grilled cheese bread slice is calling my name. Delicious I never thought combining zucchini and green onion will be okay. But you proved I am wrong it makes delicious bread.
It really made a fantastic grilled cheese! Thank you for your comment, Swathi!
I love a savory quick bread. The flavors here sound great!
Thank you Mary! I appreciate your comment! It is really very tasty!
I have never thought of using any kind of zuchinni bread for grilled cheese. This is genius!
It was so very good! Looking at it makes me want to make another batch!
This savoury zucchini quick bread sounds so good. Turning it into grilled cheese is inspired!
Thanks! Kate! It really was tasty! 🙂
What a great idea! I was already in love with the idea of this more savory bread recipe and then I saw how versatile it is with all of the ways you used it. I am going to have to try this ASAP as this looks amazing! Luci’s Morsels | fashion. food. frivolity.
Thanks Luci! I don’t think you will be disappointed!
Yum. There is nothing better than a wonderful savory bread.
I agree, Hannah! The smell in the kitchen when it’s baking is the best, isn’t it!
This sound like a delicious combination for a bread with zucchini, onions, and cheese. Yum!
It really was super tasty! Thanks, Stephanie!
This looks so good, I love the idea of using zucchini in bread, and cheese and onions too – yum!
Thank you Hope! We really enjoyed the grilled cheese I made with it also!
Nice recipe. Have made zucchini bread before but Like your idea of adding scallions to the mix. Nice touch.
Thank you cookilicious! It was very tasty! The savory aspect was so different!
I’m a big fan of quick breads too and I love to mix “stuff” in to make it more interesting. Zucchini and scallions are a great mix in — but the cheese sets it apart. I love the grilled ham and cheese you made with it too!
Thanks, Lisa! It’s been so long since I made this, I forgot about it! I’ll have to make it again! It was sooo good!
