Description

Ingredients

• 1 loaf French or Italian bread
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1 cup store-bought basil pesto
• 1 1/2 cups 3-cheese blend (mozzarella, Parmesan, and Asiago)

Directions

• Heat oven to 375° F degrees.
• Place the bread on a cutting board. Use a serrated knife to make 1-inch diagonal cuts through the bread, leaving the bottom crust intact. Turn the bread and make diagonal cuts in the opposite direction, creating a crosshatch pattern.
• Meanwhile, pour the melted butter into the cuts of the bread. Then use a spoon to drip the pesto into the cuts of the bread. Finally, stuff the shredded cheese into the cuts of the bread.
• Wrap the bread in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet. Place in the oven to bake for 15 minutes. Then, open the foil to expose the top of the bread and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
• Serves 12.
