Pull Apart Cheesy Bread

Crispy, buttery, cheesy, I’m sold.

INGREDIENTS YOU WILL NEED:

• Rosemary and olive oil round loaf (or any round loaf of your flavor preference) - 1

• Butter - 4 tbsp (half stick)

• Minced garlic - 2 tsp

• Garlic powder - 1 tsp

• Kosher salt - 1/2 tsp

• Black pepper - 1/2 tsp

• Parsley - 1 tsp

• Muenster cheese, sliced - about 4 slices

• Pepper Jack cheese, sliced - about 4 slices

UTENSILS I’D SUGGEST HAVING:

• Sheet pan

• Large bread knife

• Silicone brush

• Small bowl

• Tin foil

ORDER OF OPERATIONS:

1. Melt butter and add spices, herbs, and minced garlic

2. Cut bread into a partially deep grid

3. Brush melted butter mixture inside the cuts you created in both directions

4. Fold up both cheeses to tear into strips and stuff into the cuts you created

5. Brush melted butter mixture all over loaf and bake

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat? Yes - 375 degrees F (190 C)

1. In a small bowl, melt butter then combine with garlic powder, salt, pepper, parsley, and minced garlic

2. Making a slice every inch or so, you'll want to cut a checkerboard pattern (like the picture above) into your loaf, only cutting about 3/4ths of the day deep.You want it deep enough where you can add cheese in to stuff it, but not so deep that it falls apart.

3. Brush melted butter mixture inside the cuts you’ve created, making sure to butter in both directions

4. Fold and tear both cheese types into strips and stuff into the cuts you created, alternating between the two flavors. The squares can be delicate at this stage, so be careful when separating the layers that you don’t tear off the tops on accident.

5. Brush melted butter mixture all over loaf and place on a baking sheet wrapped in pieces of tin foil on the top and bottom

6. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the top piece of foil and broil on high for 3-4 minutes or until cheese has fully melted and bread/cheese is starting to crisp a little

• Enjoy!
