Green Chile Cheese Bread

 

Ingredients

1 loaf sourdough bread

½ cup butter, softened

⅓ cup mayonnaise

1 cup cheddar cheese

4 ounces diced green chilies , canned with juices

Instructions

Step 1:

Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C). For easier cleanup, you can line a baking sheet with foil or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2:

In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, mayonnaise, canned green chiles (including their juices), and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix thoroughly until evenly blended.

Step 3: 

Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise. Spread the cheese and chile mixture evenly over both halves. Place the bread, cut-side up, on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4:

Bake for 5 minutes, then switch the oven to broil. Broil just until the top is bubbly, golden, and slightly browned—watch closely to avoid burning.

Step 5:

Remove from the oven. Let cool slightly, slice into portions, and serve warm.
