Ingredients
1 loaf FRESH Tuscan boule bread
1 (8 oz) bag Brookshire’s finely shredded Italian cheese
2 Tbs butter, melted
2 Tbs basil pesto
1 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place a large piece of foil on a baking sheet and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Place the bread in the middle of the foil.
- Cut a cross-hatch pattern across the top of the bread. Make slices about 1/2 inch apart but stop at 1/2 inch from the bottom of the loaf. Bring the foil up around the sides of the loaf to hold together.
- Carefully pull the slices apart and stuff the cheese between the slices and down into the bread.
- Combine the butter, pesto and olive oil in a bowl. Brush the mixture over the top and down into the slices.
- Bring the foil up over the loaf and bake for 10 minutes. Increase heat to 400 degrees and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes to brown. Remove from oven and serve.
