Tip

Cheddar Tip

Select sharp cheddar when using packaged shredded cheese from recipes that you’d like to have a bolder flavor. If you will be shredding cheese at home from bulk cheddar, you can choose from mild, medium, sharp and extra sharp.

I made this recipe for a tea party and used a soft baguette. I wrapped it up the night before and put it in the refrigerator and sliced it up right before serving. It was a hit. The ladies loved it. My friend added some shredded carrots to it also and served it at a birthday party for kids and adults and they all loved it. Make sure you use really good crunchy pickles.

I was searching for something quick and easy to bring to a "Dish to Pass" banquet. I think I found it....this sounds like the ticket!

Fern,

I think you missed the top line of the directions. It says to fill both halves of the bread with cheese mixture. By pressing both sides together firmly and wrapping in foil or plastic wrap then refrigerating over night, the two halves of of the bread should be pretty well molded together so that slicing in one piece should be easy.

The way I understand this recipe, is to stuff both halves of the bread with the cheese mixture, but put the ham wrapped pickle spears on one half, top with the other (stuffed) half. Wrap and refrigerate overnight. I don't think they would separate after slicing in pieces. This sound like a wonderful appetizer!

Sounds great, but "Replace top; PRESS TOGETHER TO SEAL...Just before serving...."

is confusing!!! Is ambiguous; do you press the top half right into the hollow of the bottom half, just have the edges of both haves meet, whatever? When you cut thru, will 2 pieces (top & bottom halves) separate for transferring to plate, or will they be melded together following refrigeration?

...Sure would like to know, cause would like to make!

Thanks. Sounds good!
