20 35 55

Ingredients

1 loaf (1 pound) French bread
2 cups cubed Monterey Jack cheese (1/4-inch pieces)

1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
2 teaspoon prepared mustard

Directions

Slice bread diagonally about every 1/2 in., not cutting all the way through bottom crust. Place loaf on a piece of foil large enough to wrap it completely.
Insert the cheese, ham and onion evenly between every other slice. Combine remaining ingredients; drizzle between slices and over top. Wrap foil tightly. Bake at 350° for 35 minutes. Cut bread between unstuffed slices; serve warm. Yield: 6-8 servings.
