I love bread, and I thought this recipe sounded really tasty. From "The Florida Keys Cookbook".

Categories     Breads

Time 30m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (1 lb) round sourdough loaf, unsliced
1 lb sliced monterey jack cheese
8 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup chopped scallion
2 tablespoons poppy seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • With a sharp bread knife, cut bread in a grid-like (cross-hatch) pattern, taking care NOT to cut through the bottom crust.
  • Insert cheese slices between each deep cut (about 2 dozen slices).
  • Place melted butter, scallions, and poppy seeds in a small bowl. Stir to mix well. Make a blanket of aluminum foil large enough to totally encompass the bread. Place bread in the center of the foil. Drizzle butter mixture over bread and cheese.
  • Wrap foil tightly around bread and place it on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes; open foil and bake 10 minutes more, until cheese is melted.
  • To serve, place unwrapped bread in a napkin-lined bread basket. Guests serve themselves by ripping pieces of cheese bread from the loaf.
  • SUBSTITUTE: You can substitute a flavored artisan bread for the sour dough.
