Savory Party Bread
It's impossible to stop nibbling on warm pieces of this cheesy, oniony bread. The sliced loaf fans out for a fun presentation. It's one of the best savory appetizers I've found. —Kay Daly, Raleigh, North Carolina

Made it as written the first time, and it disappeared beforei could get back with napkins. The second time, I added dry ranch mix and garlic powder to the butter, and used a combination of Mexican blend and extra sharp cheddar (I was out of cheeses), topping it with green onions and bacon before serving it with a side of sour cream based ranch. Think cheese fries. Once it was gone, I had guests running to the store for more ingredients to make two more that night! They went just as fast. *This summer, rather than heating up the kitchen, we kept it wrapped in foil, and put it on our gas grill. Another reviewer is right: an electric knife does make the cutting go much easier!
Don’t expect any leftovers! This bread appetizer went as quickly as I set it out! I used some garlic powder, also.
One of my most requested appetizers.
I have made this many times, using different cheeses. Our favorite is pepper-jack with green chilies for extra kick.
This bread is phenomenal!! I made it as a side with pasta, so I added some garlic and used mozzarella rather than Monterey jack, but I am sure that would be delicious as well.
Excellent! I made for Christmas Eve and it was the first thing from the table gone. Thanks for sharing!
Delicious! Great aroma and presentation. I used white cheddar, Colby jack, 1 clove of garlic crushed into the butter, and omitted the onions.
I made this for a starter on Christmas, it disappeared in a flash!
Yummy! I made 1 with Mexican cheese blend and 1 with vegan cheese. Both tasted great and I will definitely make it again.
Big hit, can’t go wrong with this, I might use a bit more butter and poppy seeds next time.
