Cheesy Pesto Bread

• 1 loaf Italian Bread
• 1/2 cups Prepared Pesto
• 3 cups Shredded Cheese, Any Blend

1. 1. Preheat oven to 400u0b0F and cut a piece of foil big enough to wrap the bread in. Spray surface with cooking spray.
2. 2. Place the bread on the foil on the baking sheet and cut lengthwise in 1-inch strips. Do not cut through to the bottom.
3. 3. Now cut across the width in 1-inch strips so that your bread has 1-inch cubes cut all over it, but make sure that it's all still intact at the bottom.
4. 4. Using a knife, spread the pesto inside each slice, in all directions so that every bit of sliced bread has pesto on it.
5. 5. Pull each bit apart carefully and stuff the cheese into every little space. I used a mozzarella and Parmesan blend combined with a cheddar blend. It's best to start with the edges of the bread and work your way toward the middle.
6. 6. Wrap the foil around the bread (make sure the foil is sprayed with oil so the cheese doesn't stick) and bake for 10 minutes.
7. 7. Unwrap the bread and place back into the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until all the cheese is melted and the bread has slightly browned.
