Here’s the bacon cheese jalapeno quick bread recipe:
Ingredients:

12-14 slices of cooked good quality bacon
3 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp baking powder
2 tbsp sugar
4 oz cream cheese at room temperature
2 cups shredded cheese
1 egg
1 1/2 cups whole milk
2 diced jalapeños seeds removed
1 tablespoon melted butter
2 thinly sliced scallions (optional)
Preparation:

At first, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a loaf pan (9×5 or 9×6). Cook your bacon in it, until it is all nice and crisp. When done, remove the pan from the oven and place the bacon on a paper towel to remove the excess grease. Allow the bacon to cool and then crumble it.

Now, whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar all together in a small bowl, set aside. Next, take a larger bowl and mix together the cream cheese, shredded cheese, jalapenos, scallions, and bacon. Combine well.

Add your flour mixture to the cheese mixture along with the milk, egg, and melted butter. Mix well. Next, add the mix to the greased loaf pan, and bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out dry.

Cool completely in the pan, then transfer to a wire cooling rack. Slice and take out a piece whenever you want.
