Time 35m

Yield 1 loaf, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 Italian bread, about 12 inches long
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/8 cup olive oil
3 teaspoons onions, minced
2 -3 garlic cloves, grated
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon poppy seed
3 teaspoons chopped parsley (add more if you wish)
12 ounces grated cheese (I used a mix of white cheddar and monterey jack.)

Steps:

  • 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. (It seems like a lot of work and trouble but it's all worth it. Yes.).
  • 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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially the bread and cheese. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overstuff the bread. You want the filling to be evenly distributed, but you don't want the bread to be so full that it bursts.
  • Bake the bread until it is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will ensure that the bread is cooked through and the filling is hot and melted.
  • Let the bread cool slightly before slicing and serving. This will help the filling to set and make it easier to slice.
  • Serve the bread warm with your favorite dipping sauce. Marinara sauce, Alfredo sauce, or pesto are all great options.

Conclusion:

Italian stuffed bread is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. With so many different variations to choose from, there is sure to be an Italian stuffed bread recipe that everyone will love.
