Cheesy Onion Bread

I saw this recently and had to try it.. what a great idea as a pick and share bread. Oozing with mozzarella and cheddar, with spring onions and melted butter bringing it all together. Delicious. Here I made a small round ciabatta, as I didn't want the bread to be too big - but you can buy any round loaf you like.

This is not my usual kind of food but I feel it deserved a mention as its such a cool idea.

Ingredients:

1 round loaf bread
125g mozzarella, sliced
80g cheddar, sliced
4 spring onions
50g butter, melted


Heat the oven to 200 C. Place the loaf on a chopping board and slice - but not all the way down. You just want to get about two thirds of the way down with each slice. Turn the loaf and repeat, so you have squares on the top.

Mix the melted butter with the spring onions in a small bowl and set to one side. Place the bread on a piece of foil large enough to cover over the bread when ready. Push the cheese slices into the gaps and spoon the spring onion butter in and amongst the cheese. Cover with the foil and pop in the oven for 15 minutes.

Serve hot with napkins - it can get very messy! Enjoy.
