Spinach, Onion, and Tomato Quick Bread

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning 
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 3 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1/3 cup milk, at room temperature
• 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese 
• 1/2 cup diced white onion
• 1 cup chopped, cooked, well drained spinach
• 1/2 cup cubed tomatoes with seeds

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350° and generously butter a loaf pan. Do not use Pam or margarine. The butter is going to give this loaf a beautiful crust. 
2. Whisk the flours, baking powder, salt, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper together in a large bowl.
3. Put the eggs in another bowl and whisk for about 1 minute, until foamy; whisk in the milk, olive oil, tomatoes, onions, and olive oil.
4. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and , using a  rubber spatula, gently mix until the dough comes together - just until the dough comes together.
5. Stir in the cheese and spoon into the buttered pan, smoothing out the top with your spatula. 
6. Top with the onion rings and tomato slices.
7. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the bread is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Transfer the pan to a cooling rack and wait for about 3 minutes, then run a knife around the sides of the pan and turn the loaf over the rack; invert and cool right side up.
