Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×4-inch loaf pan by greasing it and lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, olive oil, and Greek yogurt until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
  4. Gently combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients using a spatula; avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in the mozzarella cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh basil.
  6. Transfer the batter to the loaf pan and bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Remove the bread from the oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
