Ingredients
- 1 Loaf of French Bread (cut in half lengthwise)
- 4 Tbsp Butter (melted)
- 8 oz Cream Cheese (softened at room temperature)
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 2 Jalapeños (diced into small pieces)
- 6 slices Bacon (cooked and crumbled)
- 2 tsp Minced Garlic
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the melted butter, cream cheese, ½ cup mozzarella cheese, ½ cup cheddar cheese, minced garlic, and half of the diced jalapeños until well combined.
- Place the French bread halves, cut-side up, on the prepared baking sheet.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over both halves of the bread.
- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the top. Finish with the remaining jalapeños and the crumbled bacon.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the bread cool for 2–3 minutes, then slice and serve warm.
Notes
For a crispier, more golden top, broil the bread for 1–2 minutes after baking, watching closely to prevent burning.
Refrigerate leftovers in an air tight container for up to 5 days.
