Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large loaf of crusty bread (such as sourdough or Italian)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 fresh jalapeños, diced (seeds removed for less heat)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the bread: Using a sharp knife, cut the loaf of bread into a grid pattern, making sure not to slice all the way through.
  3. Mix the toppings: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Stuff the bread: Drizzle the butter mixture into the cuts of the bread. Then, stuff the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, crumbled bacon, and diced jalapeños into the gaps.
  5. Wrap and bake: Wrap the stuffed bread tightly in aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  6. Unwrap and crisp: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the top with fresh chopped cilantro, if desired. Pull apart the bread and enjoy the irresistible flavors!

Notes

For the best results, choose a crusty, hearty loaf like sourdough or Italian bread, as it holds up well to the fillings. Feel free to experiment with different cheese varieties and adjust the heat level by modifying the jalapeños used.
