02 - 1/2 cup chopped dill pickles
03 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
→ Wet Ingredients
04 - 2 large eggs
05 - 1 cup milk
06 - 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted unsalted butter

# Directions:
01 - Set oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper for easier removal.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper until fully incorporated.
03 - In a separate bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly, then whisk in milk, vegetable oil or melted unsalted butter, and pickle brine until the mixture is smooth.
04 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until no streaks of flour remain, taking care not to overmix.
05 - Fold in the corn kernels, chopped dill pickles, and fresh dill until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
06 - Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Evenly sprinkle grated Parmesan or cheddar cheese over the surface, if using.
07 - Place pan in the oven and bake for 48 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
08 - Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional fresh dill if desired.
