Units
Scale
- 2 small baguettes or sub rolls
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut a deep V-shape into the tops of the baguettes and remove the center bread to create a hollow boat. Be careful not to cut through the bottom.
- In a bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Brush the inside of the bread boats with the garlic butter mixture.
- In another bowl, combine mozzarella, cheddar, and crumbled bacon.
- Stuff the cheese and bacon mixture evenly into the bread boats.
- Place the boats on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is crisp.
- Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then slice and serve warm.
Notes
- Use sourdough or ciabatta for a sturdier bread option.
- Add chopped jalapeños or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- Serve with marinara or ranch for dipping.
