CAJUN-STYLE LOAF OF FRENCH BREAD

Category: Hot

1 (14 oz.) loaf French bread
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 medium onion, chopped fine
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2/3 cup light mayo
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tbs. or more Cajun seasoning

Cut bread in half, lengthwise and brush melted butter evenly onto bread halves.

Stir together onion, jalapeno pepper, and the next 6 ingredients, and spread mixture evenly over buttered bread halves. Sprinkle evenly with the Cajun seasoning. Slice each half into 8 (1 inch) pieces. Place, buttered sides up, on a greased baking sheet and sprinkle evenly with Cajun seasoning. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until bubbly. Let stand for 5 minutes.

NOTE: I like to make up several loaves at a time, to keep on hand in the freezer, and serve as a delicious appetizer when guests drop in.
