Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the whole milk and olive oil, whisking until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in the halved cherry tomatoes, shredded mozzarella cheese, and chopped fresh basil.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the batter.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
