- Yield: 1 Hearty Loaf 1x
Ingredients
1 loaf of round sourdough or white bakery bread
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp. garlic powder
3 cups shredded cheese, about 8 ounces (We use the “Mexican” cheese blend.)
1 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage**
1/4 cup pickled jalapeños, diced
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
3 green onions (aka scallions), finely chopped
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Set aside.
Cut the round loaf into a grid or crosshatch pattern using a serrated bread knife. Make cuts about 1-inch wide. Do not cut the bread all the way through. Mix the melted butter and garlic powder together. Brush this mixture in between each cut in the bread. Set aside the remaining butter.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded cheese, breakfast sausage, pickled jalapeños, minced garlic, and green onions. Stuff the cheese mixture into each cut of the bread, working in layers going horizontally and vertically. Be sure to place this mixture in between all bread cuts. Drizzle the remaining melted butter over the top of the bread loaf. Cover with additional aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes. The loaf will be browned and crisp, with melted cheese. Enjoy warm!
Notes
**Swap out your favorite sausage here–Italian or Chorizo would be fabulous!
