Stuffed Italian Bread

• 1 Italian bread, about 12 inches long
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1/8 cup olive oil
• 3 teaspoons onions, minced
• 2 -3 garlic cloves, grated
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon poppy seed
• 3 teaspoons chopped parsley (add more if you wish)
• 12 ounces grated cheese (I used a mix of white cheddar and monterey jack.)

1. Preheat the oven to 350u0b0F.
2. Mix the melted butter, olive oil, onion, garlic, dijon mustard, poppy seeds and parsley in a bowl.
3. Cut the bread into cubes with X slices without cutting all the way through the bottom crust.
4. Pour the butter-onion garlic mixture carefully into those X cracks using a small spoon and over the top of the bread. Fill those delicious cracks with the grated cheese. (It seems like a lot of work and trouble but it's all worth it. Yes.).
5. Wrap the entire loaf with foil, sealing the sides properly and bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and unwrap. Bake for another 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and gooey.
