Simple Steps to a Delicious Appetizer
Preparing this appetizer is straightforward. Start with a 1 lb round loaf of sourdough or your favorite bread. A mixture of melted salted butter, minced garlic, dried parsley, and onion powder is drizzled between the bread’s diagonal cuts. Generous amounts of shredded Bothwell Red Hot Chili Pepper Monterey Jack cheese are then layered within. The loaf is brushed with remaining garlic butter, wrapped tightly in foil, and baked at 425 degrees F for 15-20 minutes. For a final touch, uncover and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the top is perfectly crisped. Allow it to cool slightly before serving this cheesy masterpiece.
