SWISS CHEESE BREAD

Category: Bread

1 loaf French bread
2 sticks butter, softened
2 cups (8oz) shredded Swiss cheese
3/4 tsp celery seed
3/4 tsp garlic powder
3 tbsp dehydrated parsley flakes

Trim top and side crusts form bread, leaving bottom crust intact. Make diagonal cuts, 1-in. thick, through the bread but not through the bottom. Combine all remaining ingredients. Spread half the butter mixture between bread slices. Use remaining mixture to frost top and sides of bread. Place bread in foil boat; cover loosely with another sheet of foil.

Bake at 425 for 20-30 minutes. For last 5 minutes, remove foil to allow bread to brown.

NOTE: This is good with many different kinds of cheese; such as cheddar, Monterey Jack or even some pepper jack.
