8 bacon strips, chopped
8 green onions, thinly sliced
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup butter, melted
1-1/2 cups shredded Asiago cheese, divided
2/3 cup pitted dates, chopped

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Discard drippings, reserving 2 tablespoons in pan.

Add green onions to drippings; cook and stir over medium-high heat until tender, 1-2 minutes. Cool slightly.

In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and cayenne. In another bowl, whisk eggs, sour cream and melted butter until blended. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened. Fold in 1 cup cheese, dates, bacon and green onions (batter will be thick).
4
Transfer to a greased 9x5-in. loaf pan; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 45-50 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Serve warm.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
