Walnut Quick Bread

I was looking for a walnut bread to accompany a nice blue cheese for tonight's dinner. Originally I had planned to make a yeast bread, but ran out of time, so I googled for a walnut quick bread and found this one. It turned out really well -- sweet but not too sweet and the walnut flavor really came through and was perfect with the cheese. I did toast the slices after the bread completely cooled so the texture of the bread was a little firmer, making it easier to spread the cheese.

This will also be good toasted and buttered for breakfast tomorrow morning.

Served with a French turnip/potato/leek soup.
