Colby Jack Cheesy Bread image

This savory bread is a must for any cheese fan. It can be served with anything from spaghetti to barbecue. Enjoy it fresh from the oven, toast it with a bit of butter or add a little garlic bread on top for cheesy garlic bread. The amount of Colby Jack in this bread is perfect. Yum!
