This savory zucchini bread is full of all things savory so if you like bacon, garlic and cheese, you'll love this summer quick bread.

Don't like bacon? Leave it out. You know me, I'm all about making it how you like it. change up the cheese to your favorite too.

Whether you grow your own zucchini or not, there is always fresh zucchini in abundance in the summer.

I grow it myself, mostly for the zucchini flowers. My absolute favorite summertime savory treat is zucchini pancakes / fritters.

My other must-makes every summer with zucchini are chocolate chip zucchini bread, air fryer zucchini fries, pan-fried zucchini fries and of course, this savory zucchini bread.

If you prefer your zucchini bread on the sweeter side, this Pineapple Zucchini Bread is a great choice for you.

I love a savory version of a typically sweet recipe like this. Another good one to try is this recipe for Cheese Scones. I'd much prefer that than a fruity scone.

What are your favorite ways to use zucchini?

While sweet zucchini recipes are great, as you know, I'm a savory girl at heart. So I have loaded this zucchini bread with bacon, garlic and cheese. Can't beat that combo.
