The Most Amazing Appetizer

Let me intro­duce you to my new addic­tion, the onion loaf. It’s absolutely deli­cious! Don’t take my word for it, make your own and just eat it. Let me warn you this cheesy onion loaf is a lit­tle like a bag of salty potato chips, you can’t just eat one! When you make it you’re going to think it’s huge and won­der how any­one will fin­ish it. Then you’ll pull a piece of the gooey, cheesy, warm bread and instantly know how… Buon Appetito!

As a side note, this may be one of my worst food pho­tos. I think it’s because I was so anx­ious to devour it that I just quickly took a few snap­shots. I assure you it actu­ally looks much bet­ter in per­son, espe­cially with the aroma of warm bread and bub­bly cheeses.
 
 
ingre­di­ents:
1 unsliced loaf sour­dough bread (Boudin’s is the best if you have one near you)
12–16 ounces Mon­terey Jack cheese, thinly sliced (I’ve also used bre’ cheese which is fabulous)
1/2 cup but­ter, melted
1/2 cup finely diced green onion
2 tea­spoons poppy seeds (optional)
pre-heat oven to 350′
 

Cut the bread length­wise and width wise with­out cut­ting through the bot­tom crust. This will form lit­tle squares.

Then place on a foil-lined bak­ing sheet. Insert cheese slices between cuts. Com­bine melted but­ter, onion, and poppy seeds. Driz­zle over bread evenly. Wrap in foil; place on a bak­ing sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 min­utes.
Unwrap the bread and bake 10 more min­utes, or until cheese is melted.

Reader Tip: Also, if you are for­tu­nate enough to live near a Boudin, don’t for­get to sign up for a Fre­quent Buyer Card. You’ll get a free loaf of sour­dough bread every month for a year just by reg­is­ter­ing your card online! Check it out http://www.boudinbakery.com/re…

*Side note: This is a great social appe­tizer. Peo­ple instantly gather around the table. (I promise nobody will be hold­ing up any walls) Since you just use your fin­gers to pull a bit of the yum­mi­ness off, it makes for a fun and casual experience.
