Need an easy and delicious appetizer? Several years ago, I attended a bridal shower and one of the guests brought this hearty cheesy pull apart bread appetizer to the event. I had never even heard of it before. It was so cheesy, gooey, delicious and everyone was enjoying it.
I mentioned how good it was and she graciously shared the recipe with me. She wrote it down on a piece of typing paper. There wasn’t a title.
Okay, so I actually have changed a few things in this recipe. The sliced green onions replace the original minced onions. (We love these!) The Swiss cheese replaces the cheddar but cheddar would be just as good. In other words, you can easily tweak this to make your own version.
I’m not sure what they called this but Cheesy Pull Apart Bread Appetizer seemed appropriate. After all, that is exactly what you do, pull the cheesy bread apart and enjoy!

- 1 round rye bread or sourdough bread
- 2 – (8 – ounce) blocks Swiss Cheese
- 2 – (8 – ounce) blocks Monterey Jack Cheese
- 2 (8-ounce) sticks butter
- 2 Tblsp. sliced green onion
- 1/2 tsp. dry mustard
- 2 tsp. poppy-seed
- 1/2 tsp. garlic salt
- 1 tsp. Beau Monde
Melt butter in the microwave or over low heat in a small saucepan on top of the stove. Add the green onion, mustard, poppy seeds, garlic salt, and Beau Monde
and mix well. (You’ll notice there is no poppy-seed in the measuring cup. I was sure there was some in the cabinet but there was not! It still tasted good!)

Slice the bread almost through into a checkerboard pattern and place on a sheet pan lined with Reynold’s Wrap.
Slice the cheese and stuff one slice of swiss or one slice of Monterey Jack all over the checkerboard-cut bread.
Pour the butter mixture all over the top of the bread and into the cracks with the cheese.
Bake for 30 minutes at 350° until golden and bubbly. If you like your bread a little toasty, broil for a minute or two just before removing from the oven.
