This is an irresistible way to dress up an ordinary loaf of bread. Serve slices as an appetizer or with a meal. —Kevalyn Henderson, Hayward, Wisconsin

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 4 ounces crumbled blue cheese
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon minced chives
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 loaf (1 pound) unsliced French bread

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the first 5 ingredients. Cut into bread to make 1-in.-thick slices, but don't cut all the way through—leave slices attached at the bottom. Spread cheese mixture between the slices.
  2. Wrap loaf in a large piece of heavy-duty foil (about 28x18 in.); fold around bread and seal tightly. Bake at 350° until heated through, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.
