Perfect for St Patrick’s Day, Easter, Mother’s Day and the Tea Time Tables
I made this Cheese & Spring Onion Soda bread for St Patrick’s Day, which was on the 17th March.
It’s a simple basic recipe for soda bread, with added cheese and spring onions, making it almost a meal in itself.
Serve in wedges with good butter and extra cheese and onions for the perfect light supper or tea. Or, as an accompaniment to soup, stew or casseroles.
A classic soda bread recipe has just four ingredients: flour, soda, buttermilk and salt. The added cheese and onions really works well with these basic ingredients.
This recipe for Cheese & Spring Onion Soda Bread would be perfect for the Easter tea time table, and Mother’s Day too.
This recipe makes 2 x soda breads….and, don’t forget to make the cross on top of the bread, so the fairies can fly out too!
Culinary Notes:
- Instead of buttermilk, you can use 200g natural yogurt mixed with 100ml milk
- Use Cheddar, Cheshire or Wensleydale cheese
- Use chives in place of spring onions

Ingredients
- 450g plain white flour
- 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 bunch of spring onions, chopped
- 150g cheese, crumbled or coarsely grated
- 300ml butter milk plus some for the glaze
- OPTIONAL:
- 30g butter
Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 220C/425F/Gas mark 7 and grease and/or line a baking tray.
Sift all the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl and rub in the butter, if using, until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Stir in most of the spring onions and cheese, keeping a little back for the top of the loaf.
Add the buttermilk and mix with your hands to form a dough – do not over mix as it will make the soda bread tough.
Turn the dough out onto a floured board and shape into 2 x rounds about 4cm/1 1/2″ thick.
Place the soda breads onto the prepared baking tray and cut a deep cross in the top.
Brush with a little milk, then scatter the remaining spring onions and cheese on top
Bake in pre-heated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until they are well risen and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack or wrap in a clean tea towel for a soft crust.
Serve warm with salted butter.
The optional addition of butter helps the soda bread keep for longer.
Notes
Instead of buttermilk, you can use 200g natural yogurt mixed with 100ml milk
Use Cheddar, Cheshire or Wensleydale cheese
Use chives in place of spring onions
