Ingredients

  • 1 (1 lb.) rustic loaf French or Italian bread, unsliced (see note)
  • 10 to 12 oz. shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped pickled OR roasted jalapenos
  • 1/4 cup diced green onions, plus more for garnish
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment or nonstick foil.

  2. Slice the bread to, but not through the bottom crust, in a cross-hatch pattern, spacing an inch between cuts.

  3. In a large bowl, combine the cheese, jalapenos and green onions; pour over melted butter. Mix well.

  4. Place the bread on the prepared baking sheet. Stuff each cut with cheese mixture. Tent loosely with foil.

  5. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake 5 to 10 minutes more, or until the cheese is bubbly melted and bread is golden. Sprinkle with additional green onion, if desired.

  6. A round Tuscan loaf or an oblong loaf will work for this.
