Ingredients:

• 1 unsliced loaf of sourdough bread (or any large round bread)
• 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 2 teaspoons poppy seeds (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions:

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Bread: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take the loaf of bread and cut it diagonally into 1-inch diamonds, but be careful not to slice through the bottom crust.
2. Mix Filling: In a bowl, combine the Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses with the chopped green onions.
3. Stuff the Bread: Gently separate the bread pieces and stuff the cheese mixture deep into the cuts.
4. Prepare Butter Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and poppy seeds, if using.
5. Apply Butter Mixture: Drizzle the butter mixture evenly over the bread, making sure it seeps into the cuts.
6. Bake: Wrap the bread in foil and place it on a baking sheet. Bake covered for 15 minutes, then uncover and continue baking for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is thoroughly melted and the bread is crispy.
7. Serve: Serve the bread warm, encouraging guests to pull apart the individual pieces.
