Chives are an allium, in the same family as onions, scallions (green onions), and garlic. They grow from a bulb and are a perennial, meaning they come up every year. Chives have a very mild onion and garlic flavor, perfect for salads, baked potatoes, and this bread!

You may have chives in your garden. Chives seem to be about the only herb that I’m successful in growing. My chive plants keep coming back every spring, with their pretty purple blooms (which are edible, too), and I love that you can harvest them all summer and into the fall. In fact, the more chives you harvest, the more they grow!

Chives look like a clump of grass but as soon as you break off one of the long thin blades, you’ll immediately notice the onion/garlic scent. Chives are ornamental and edible, perfect for an herb garden or in a decorative pot with other plants.

Cheesy Garlic Herb Crack Bread

To harvest chives, simply snip the chives an inch or two above the ground with a sharp scissors. The entire plant is edible, including the purple blossom which makes a lovely garnish in a salad. You may notice that the long stem of the blossoms is a little tough. I usually discard that.

Once you’ve harvested a handful of chives, give them a quick rinse. They can be varying lengths so cut them in half and roughly line them up on your cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut them into small pieces or simply use your scissors to snip them. The tender herb cuts very easily.

This bread is best eaten immediately. If you have some left over, cool it to room temperature and store it in an airtight container or wrap it in foil. I usually refrigerate it.

Roasted Garlic Bread Recipe

I've been looking for ways to use more of my fresh herbs from our herb garden. We have a ton of chives, parsley, sage, oregano that came back from previous years and we currently have new Italian basil, Thai basil, lavender, thyme, and dill that we planted this year. Most of them are flourishing, so I want to take advantage of them as much as possible.

I like quick breads because they are so easy to make. They take a while to bake, but the preparation is easy and the varieties are pretty endless. The onion and garlic flavor from the chives pair perfectly with a cheddar cheese.

I made this bread recently to have along with some barbeque chicken and roasted asparagus. It went really well with our meal. It would also pair well with chili or soups and leftovers are great toasted with eggs for breakfast. Spread some butter on a slice, or eat it as is.

Quick Cheese Bacon Bread With Chives

Chives are one of the first herbs to start coming up each year and the first one that is ready to start using. I always look forward to its fresh flavor and color.

When making this bread, I like to use a sharp or extra sharp cheddar cheese. White or yellow is fine, but you want the sharp flavor so it really comes through in the baked bread. I used yellow here and it maes a nice marbling on the sliced bread.
