Easy Cheesy Bread

This recipe is in no way a healthy swap, paleo, keto, or W30 like I normally post.

This is what I consider a “conscious indulgence” and I make it only about once a year….BUT I decided it’s time to give you the recipe because you’ll score massive points with your entire family if you make this.

With family time being so important, especially in these uncertain times of social distancing right now, we all deserve a splurge. Make this alongside your favorite pasta dish and a side salad….it’s sure to be a hit. There will be NO leftovers, trust me. Oh and I have a super easy shortcut for you!!

The super EASY version:

Ingredients:

• 1 large sourdough round - cut crosswise, but not thru to bottom so it stays intact

• 1 lb Monterey Jack cheese - grated

• 1 1/2 sticks Kerry Gold “Garlic Herb & Butter” (3.5 oz sticks) - softened (see pic, but if you cannot find this, see the other version below that’s easy too)

• Foil and baking sheet

How to make:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

2. Stuff grated cheese into all the nooks + crannies

3. Pour/spread butter all over, getting it down into the cracks

4. Wrap in foil, place on a baking sheet and cook for 30 mins, opening the foil to expose the whole top, for the last 10 mins.

5. It’s pretty to place on the table right in the foil on a plate - the family can just pull it apart or cut wedges off and enjoy!

Regular Recipe Version - still super easy

Ingredients:

• 1 large sourdough round - cut crosswise, but not thru to bottom so it stays intact

• 1 lb Monterey Jack cheese - grated

• 1 1/2 sticks butter - softened

• 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder

• 1 1/2 tsp onion powder

• 1 1/2 tsp fresh parsley - chopped (or dried)

• 1 1/2 tsp poppy seeds

How to make:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

2. Stuff grated cheese into all the nooks + crannies

3. Soften butter and add remaining ingredients to the butter and mix well

4. Pour/spread butter mixture all over, getting it down into the cracks

5. Wrap in foil, place on a baking sheet and cook for 30 mins, opening the foil to expose the whole top, for the last 10 mins.

6. It’s pretty to place on the table right in the opened foil on a plate - the family can just pull it apart or cut wedges off and enjoy!

Tip:

Place two long strips of foil crosswise, place bread round in center and wrap foil up and around the bread. This makes it easy to open and expose for the last 10 mins of baking.

This CAN be made with a different shape sourdough bread loaf, like a wide oval or long….just so it’s wide enough to cut crosswise.
