STUFFED ITALIAN BREAD
1 Italian loaf, about 12 inches long
1 stick butter, melted
1/8 cup olive oil
3 tsp minced onion
2-3 cloves garlic, grated
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp poppy seeds
3 tsp chopped parsley (add more if you wish)
12 oz grated cheese
(I used a mix of white cheddar and monterey jack.)
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Mix the melted butter, olive oil, onion, garlic, dijon mustard, poppy seeds and parsley in a bowl.
Cut the bread into cubes with X slices without cutting all the way through the bottom crust.
Pour the butter-onion garlic mixture carefully into those X cracks
using a small spoon and over the top of the bread. Fill those delicious
cracks with the grated cheese.
(It seems like a lot of work and trouble but it's all worth it. Yes.)
I made this last night. It was very good! Gone I'm minutes. I used Swiss and Monterey Jack cheese. Next time I make it I will only use 2 cloves of garlic - I used 3 this time and it was a little too much, even for my garlic loving taste buds.
