Serves 4
Ingredients
- 1 Sourdough Loaf
- 2 Cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Italian Parsley
- 1 tablespoon Basil
- 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 5 tablespoons Butter
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup Pineapple, chopped
- 1/4 cup Canadian Bacon, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°.
- Using a serrated bread knife, cut the sourdough loaf in a 1-inch diamond pattern making sure that you don't cut all the way through (cut about two-thirds of the way through).
- In a food processor, combine the garlic cloves, Italian parsley, basil and the olive oil. Give it a few quick pulses, till the herbs and garlic are chopped. Scrape the herb mixture into a small saucepan and add butter and salt. Cook on medium heat until the butter is melted, stirring occasionally. Using a pastry brush, spread the herb butter into each crack of the bread and then stuff it with a little bit of cheese.
- Next, stuff it with a little bit of pineapple and Canadian bacon. Continue until all the cracks are filled.
- Wrap the bread in foil entirely and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese has melted entirely.
