how to make stuffed italian bread

Preheat oven to 350°F

Mix the melted butter, olive oil, onion, garlic, Dijon mustard, poppy seeds and parsley in a bowl.

Cut bread into cubes with "X" slices without cutting all the way through the bottom crust.

Pour butter mixture carefully into the "X" cracks and over the top of the bread using a spoon. Fill cracks with the grated cheese.

Wrap entire loaf with foil, sealing the sides properly and bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and unwrap. Bake for an additional 10 minutes until cheese is fully melted.
