This is a viewer recipe sent in from Neil & Alana, and is simple and ridiculously good. But in the interest of full disclosure, I must admit I modified it slightly by adding the bacon. So sue me…
INGREDIENTS
1 round bread loaf, sourdough is ideal for this
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
3 garlic cloves, minced
6 green onions, white & light green parts only, diced
8 pieces of bacon, cooked & crumbled
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons sriracha
1 teaspoon each oregano and garlic powder
Kosher salt & fresh ground pepper
DIRECTIONS
Preheat your oven to 350
Score the loaf crosswise and lengthwise into 1 inch squares, cutting almost through to the bottom, but leaving it intact
In a small bowl put both cheeses, garlic, green onions and bacon – mix well and stuff mixture in between all of the cuts (some of it coming out of the top is just fine)
Melt butter in the microwave or a small pot – and add Dijon, sriracha, seasonings and salt & pepper – mix really well and drizzle evenly over the bread, especially over the cuts
Wrap loaf in a couple layers of aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes
Remove from the oven and remove foil to expose the top of the bread
Turn oven to broil and put back in the oven and cook until lightly brown, and the cheese is bubbly
Remove, maybe wait a minute to let it cool and then go nuts eating it
