Serves 6
This is a viewer recipe sent in from Neil & Alana, and is simple and ridiculously good. But in the interest of full disclosure, I must admit I modified it slightly by adding the bacon. So sue me…
INGREDIENTS
- 1 round bread loaf, sourdough is ideal for this
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 6 green onions, white & light green parts only, diced
- 8 pieces of bacon, cooked & crumbled
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon each oregano and garlic powder
- Kosher salt & fresh ground pepper
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat your oven to 350
- Score the loaf crosswise and lengthwise into 1 inch squares, cutting almost through to the bottom, but leaving it intact
- In a small bowl put both cheeses, garlic, green onions and bacon – mix well and stuff mixture in between all of the cuts (some of it coming out of the top is just fine)
- Melt butter in the microwave or a small pot – and add Dijon, seasonings and salt & pepper – mix really well and drizzle evenly over the bread, especially over the cuts
- Wrap loaf in a couple layers of aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes
- Remove from the oven and remove foil to expose the top of the bread
- Turn oven to broil and put back in the oven and cook until lightly brown, and the cheese is bubbly
- Remove, maybe wait a minute to let it cool and then go nuts eating it
