-
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese. Pour the batter into the loaf pan.

Bake for 45-55 minutes or until the top of the bread is lightly browned and the middle is set. Let the bread cool 30 minutes to an hour.

In a small bowl combine the paprika, chives, parsely pepper and salt.

Cut the bread into one inch cubes. Place the cubes on a lightly greased baking sheet and very lightly and carefully sprinkle / toss with the herbs.

Place in the oven and toast the bread for 8-10 minutes. Allow the bread to cool.

On a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots and garlic. Saute until the onions are very tender.

Whisk to combine and then pour the mixture over the bread cubes and gently toss to coat. Transfer to the prepared baking pan.
