Ingredients for All American Cheese Bread

  • Italian Bread
  • 4 tablespoons Land O Lakes butter
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 10 slices cheddar cheese (approximately 10 ounces total)
  • 10 slices Monterey Jack cheese (approximately 10 ounces total)
  • Fresh Parsley

How to Make All American Cheese Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut a loaf of bread (about 1 pound) into 10 slices, almost all the way through, leaving the bottom crust intact.
  3. In a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons Land O Lakes butter, 1 tablespoon poppy seeds, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt. Mix well.
  4. Brush the cut sides of the bread generously with the butter mixture.
  5. Place 1 slice of cheddar cheese (approximately 1 ounce) and 1 slice of Monterey Jack cheese (approximately 1 ounce) into each cut.
  6. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley.
  7. Wrap the loaf loosely in heavy-duty aluminum foil, sealing the top and ends.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. **Grilling Instructions:** Prepare the bread as directed above (steps 1-6).
  10. Prepare your grill, placing coals to one side. Heat until the coals are ash white.
  11. Place the foil-wrapped bread on the grill opposite the hot coals.
  12. Cover and grill until heated through and cheese is melted, approximately 20-25 minutes, rotating occasionally for even cooking.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
