In a bowl, combine the shredded zucchini and cheese.

Add 2 eggs to the mixture and whisk them together.

Add 3/4 cup of sour cream to the mixture and mix well.

Pour in 1/4 cup of melted butter and mix again.

In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 2 cups of all-purpose flour.

Mix the dry ingredients together, then add them to the zucchini mixture.

Prepare a loaf pan and pour the combined mixture into it.

Once baked, let the zucchini bread cool slightly before removing it from the pan.
