How to Make Paris Bread

  1. Preheat your broiler.
  2. Slice the loaf of bread lengthwise into two halves.
  3. Spread softened margarine lightly on both cut sides of the bread.
  4. Spread Dijon mustard evenly over the margarine layer on both halves.
  5. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the mustard on each half.
  6. Evenly distribute the crumbled bacon (if using) over the cheese.
  7. Sprinkle the chopped onion and chives over the bacon (or cheese, if omitting bacon).
  8. Place the bread halves on a baking sheet.
  9. Broil for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the bread is golden brown and toasted. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  10. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
