No Italian meal at my house seems complete without cheesy bread. It is my go to recipe when we have spaghetti or lasagna. My favorite cheese to use is Monterey Jack because it melts well and stretches when you pull the pieces of bread apart. Kids love to see how long the cheese will stretch when it is fresh out of the oven.

Cheesy Bread

1 loaf French or Italian Bread
Dried minced onions
Squeeze margarine or melted butter
2 cups Monterey Jack, Italian blend or mozzarella cheese, shredded
Parchment paper
Aluminum foi

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Place bread on a cutting board. Slice with a bread knife making each slice 1-inch thick. Squirt margarine or spread melted butter in between slices of bread. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon dried minced onion between slices. Divide shredded cheese evenly between slices. To prevent cheese from sticking to the foil, put a piece of parchment paper large enough to cover the bottom of the bread inside the aluminum foil. Bake 30 minutes or until hot. Serve immediately. Tip: Can be made 1 day in advance and refrigerated before baking. Makes 1 loaf, about 20 slices. Enjoy!
