Ingredients

  • 1 loaf unsliced French bread (1 pound and 20 inches long)
  • 8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, cut into 1/4-inch cubes

  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 4-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice

Directions

  1. Cut bread lengthwise down the middle to within 1/2 in. of bottom. Cut diagonally into 1-in. slices to within 1/2 in. of bottom. Repeat cuts in the opposite direction. Stuff bread with cheese and onions. Place on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 24 in. x 12 in.).
  2. Combine the butter, lemon juice and mustard; drizzle over bread. Fold foil around bread. Place on a baking sheet. Bake at 425° for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted. Unwrap; bake 5-10 minutes longer or until bread is lightly crisp. Cut into pieces; serve warm.
