Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 1 large loaf French bread
  • Slices of Mozzarella, Swiss, Pepper Jack, White American or Cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of pure butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt (like Lawry's)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, optional
  • 1/2 tablespoon dried minced onions
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 
  • Cut slits in the bread about an inch apart, but don't cut all the way through to the bottom of the bread. Place the bread on a large piece of aluminum foil with enough excess to wrap the bread tightly all the way around. 
  • Cut the cheese into slices about 1/4-inch thick and insert a slice of cheese into each slit.
  • In a small bowl, mix the butter and seasonings together until well blended. Smear the top and sides with the butter mixture and seal the whole loaf up tightly for soft bread, wrap the foil up around the sides and leave the top exposed to give it a nice crunch on top.
  • Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Slice all the way through to serve.
