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
-
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment or nonstick foil.
-
Slice the bread to, but not through the bottom crust, in a cross-hatch pattern, spacing an inch between cuts.
-
In a large bowl, combine the cheese, jalapenos and green onions; pour over melted butter. Mix well.
-
Place the bread on the prepared baking sheet. Stuff each cut with cheese mixture. Tent loosely with foil.
-
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.
-
A round Tuscan loaf or an oblong loaf will work for this.
