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