Ingredients
- 1 Italian loaf, about 12 inches long
- 1 stick butter, melted
- 1/8 cup olive oil
- 3 teaspoons minced onion
- 2-3 cloves garlic, grated
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 3 teaspoons chopped parsley (add more if you wish)
- 12 ounces grated cheese (a mix of white cheddar and Monterrey jack is good)
Directions
-
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.
-
Wrap the entire loaf with foil, sealing the sides properly and bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and unwrap. Bake for another 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and gooey.
