Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan with olive oil, lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, olive oil, and Greek yogurt until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently. Fold in the mozzarella cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and basil.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Slice into thick pieces and serve warm or at room temperature.
