Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/4 teaspoons dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch cayenne pepper
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons honey
3 eggs
One 6-ounce piece deli ham, finely chopped (about 1 1/4 cups)
1 cup shredded gruyere cheese, lightly packed (about 3 ounces)
1/2 cup finely diced (about 1/4-inch) havarti or gruyere cheese (about 2 ounces)
2 scallions, chopped

1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 9-by-5-by-3-inch metal loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, 3/4 teaspoon dry mustard, kosher salt and cayenne until combined.
3
In a large bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup milk, the oil, 1 tablespoon honey and the eggs until smooth.
4
Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined.
5
Then fold in the ham, 3/4 cup shredded cheese, the diced cheese and scallions.
6
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the top with the remaining 1/4 cup shredded cheese.
7
Bake until well risen, golden brown and a skewer or cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.
8
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
9
Meanwhile, in a small microwave-safe bowl, stir together the remaining 1 tablespoon each honey and milk and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard until smooth.
10
Heat in the microwave until hot and bubbling, 20 to 30 seconds.
11
Turn the loaf onto a wire rack and generously brush with the warm glaze.
12
Cool completely.

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

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
