baking couture ~ CHEESY BREAD

1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese

2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 to 1 cup chopped green onion (to taste)

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 Tbsp sour cream (optional)

3-4 cloves garlic, minced

1 stick unsalted butter (1/2 cup), softened to the point of being slightly melted

1 to 2 loaves of French or Italian bread (I used Ciabatta), depending on the size of the loaves

1 In a large bowl, mix together the cheeses and the green onion. Stir in the mayonnaise and sour cream. In a separate small bowl blend the butter and garlic until smooth. Add the butter mixture to the cheese mixture.

2 Preheat grill. Slice loaf of bread in half horizontally, lay crust side down. Spread cheese mixture over the bread. Place under the grill until nicely browned, about 3 to 5 minutes.

3 Remove from grill and let sit for 5 minutes until cool enough to handle. Slice the bread with a bread knife. Serve.

Makes 30 to 40 slices.
