So I have been experimenting with a few recipes for my upcoming Mummies Night Out (only 3 spots left!!) I want to make sure everything is delicious and that my party guests leave feeling spoiled rotten and full!
I made this yummy recipe several weeks ago and my family went crazy for it. I found the recipe over at See Jane in the Kitchen and she had found it over at The Changeable Table, a blog I also enjoy.
This one is going on the menu for sure!
How can any combination of bread, cheese and butter be anything but wonderful!
I pulled this out of the oven and set it on the counter and we dug in! It never even made it to the table.
I did learn a few tricks in making this bread though.
First – buy a good quality artisan, style bread. You want a bread with a crisp, firm, hard crust. You want the bread to be a nice firm, denser style of bread.
I originally bought a loaf of store baked sourdough bread at Winco and this bread was way too soft. It basically fell apart when I cut it. This is what I ended up with – a mess!
The second loaf worked perfect. You cut the bread into cubes without cutting all the way through the bottom crust to create little tall squares of bread.
You then fill those openings with Monterey Jack cheese – yum!
Cover the whole thing with a mixture of butter, green onion and poppy seeds.
Wrap it up nice and good in foil, place on a cookie sheet and pop it into the oven. About 15 minutes later or once the cheese is all melted and gooey it is ready to eat. Please wait a few minutes so you don’t totally burn your mouth. You are not going to want to wait but please do. I can not be held responsible for any cheese burns in your mouth if you don’t wait!
1 unsliced loaf of (round is preferable) sourdough bread
1 pound Monterey Jack cheese, thinly sliced
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup finely diced green onion, including white part
2-3 tsp poppy seeds
Directions:
Using a sharp bread knife cut the bread going both directions. Do not cut through the bottom crust.
Places slices of cheese between cuts. Mix together butter, onion, and poppy seeds. Pour over bread. Wrap in foil the entire thing in foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Unwrap. Bake 10 more minutes, or until cheese is melted.

This looks amazing! Cheesy goodness FTW.

Oh my!! Looks DELICIOUS! I may have to invite some friends to dinner so I can feel justified in making this. I’m afraid I’d eat it all by myself if I wasn’t forced to share! LOL
I’ve never seen anything like this before. It beats all other garlic breads and cheese breads by a mile. Excellent and amazingly delicious idea.

Thanks for the mention, I was surprised and delighted to see my blog on one of my VERY favorite blogs. You have such wonderful recipes!! Thanks.
Ohhh! I have to try this one. Looks great!
This looks amazing! I can’t wait to serve it.
So, what bread did you end up using? Another loaf from Winco or did you have to step-it-up and go to Great Harvest?
I bought a loaf at QFC and I think it was from Grand Central Bakery. It had a nice hard crust!
Oooooh that looks delicious! I’ve got to try that! I know a lot of people who would love that, especially with minced garlic too.

Just wanted to say that Panera Bread sells loaves with that kind of texture that is needed for this. I’ll be trying their bread with this recipe for sure.

Leigh Anne! I saw this yesterday, got up from the computer and went in and made one to go with our bbq chicken tenderloins for dinner last night. WOW! This is AMAZING!! Good thing I only made a half loaf! My One True Love and I devoured it!!
Oh, and I called my sis in Vancouver, and told her I’m totally jealous that I don’t live closer to attend your Mummies Night out! I would LOVE to attend, but 3,000 miles is a bit excessive:)

This looks so good! I really want to give it a try. Do you think the no-knead bread that you posted would work well? I just made that and it was awesome!
Amazing recipe! Just tried it last night for my girls night and everyone loved it! Thanks for another great recipe! You never fail to please! The girls also had an idea to try and make individual breads for people for Thanksgiving. I’ll be on the lookout for little sourdough rolls to give it a try!
I have been making this for years-but a little differently. I use cheddar and swiss cheese. Mix butter, diced red onion, and one T. mustard and spread over top. Bake and enjoy!
This is prob. a silly question, but how do you eat this? I am presuming it’s left on the table for others to cut but do they pull it apart or cut it?
You have so many great-looking recipes here, I hardly know where to start! Glad to have discovered your site. I came here from Valerie’s Attempt at Pondering blog.
Cat – we just pull at it. Because you cut almost all the way through the bread it’s pretty easy to pull apart. Enjoy!
I am in heaven! This sounds & looks devine!

OK…so, I finally fixed this today for an afternoon New Year’s Eve celebration at my folks. It was a HIT! Because we loved garlic so much, I added some garlic powder to the melted butter and then poured the mixture over. No one could keep their hands off of it and all said to make it for the next family event! THANKS Leigh Anne!
I found the link to this post when I was reading the blog of a sister-in-law of a friend (you know how blog-hopping goes!) and I am IN LOVE! It look so delicious. I will be making this for sure.
Leigh Anne, I made this bread recently and it was so so so so so good! I hope you don’t mind, I’m going to write a post about it and will link to this one. Thanks for this great recipe
— a new favorite!
I made this last year and it was a huge hit. I used pepper jack cheese instead since I like my food spicy. Awesome recipe and soooo easy. Great for when you have last minute guests.
Love the idea of using pepper jack cheese. Will definitely try that next time.
Made this for Thanksgiving, and it was a huge hit! It is soooo good!
I omitted the poppyseeds and used garlic flakes and a little garlic powder in the melted butter. Mmmmmm…..
This the way I would make it. Sounds so good!
This is soooo good. Also like to use this bread to make Cinnamom Roll Pulls and Cheddar Bacon Ranch Pulls that I found on Plain Chicken site. Going to have to make all of them again cause can’t decide which I like the best.
This was so darn good. Thank you for sharing this recipe. I found you by the way of Pinterest.
So glad you found me and that you liked it!! Hope you will visit often.
This is so easy even I could do it haha…off to the store to get supplies =)
Has anyone tried it with sharp cheddar cheese?
I haven’t done it with sharp cheddar but I bet it would be great – fun to meet you today at Thriftway!
Yum! I have this ready to be thrown into the oven for tonights NYE celebration with chives and sea salt!!
