Cheesy Pull Apart Bread Recipe 

Ingredients

• 1 Round Crusty Bread Loaf

• 2  Cups Italian Blend Shredded Cheese ( 1/2 cup grated mozzarella 1/2 cup grated fontina 1/2 cup grated Parmesan 1/2 cup grated Romano )
  

• 1-1/2 Sticks of Unsalted Butter

• 2 Garlic Cloves, chopped

• 1/2 Tsp Dried Italian Seasoning (or equal parts of dried basil parsley and oregano)

• 1 Tbs Fresh Chives, chopped

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400.

2.  Cut cross hatches in bread to make cube shaped slices, but leave bottom crust in tact.

3. Melt butter over medium heat and add garlic and chives.

4. Stir and cook another minute or two to infuse the garlic and chives.

5.  Drizzle butter mixture over bread as evenly as possible.  Use your hands to rub the butter into the crevasses.

6. Mix the dried Italian seasoning with the cheese and pack the cheese into all of the nooks and crannies.

7. Wrap bread in foil but leave top uncovered for first 10-12 minutes of cooking until cheese is golden brown on top.

8. Then, cover and finish cooking for another 20 minutes or so until outside of the bread is very crisp and cheese is melted through.

9.  This will go ridiculously fast so if you are serving more than 4 people, make two.
