Cheesy Jalapeno Bacon-Stuffed Bread

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350F.

Step 2: Heat oil in a pan over high heat. Add bacon and cook until lightly browned. Remove onto a plate lined with a paper towel to drain excess fat. Set aside to cool.

Step 3: Cut the ends off the baguette and cut the baguette in half (or quarters - makes it easier to stuff).

Step 4: Use a long knife (preferably bread knife) to cut the bread out, leaving about a 1/2-inch wall of bread and crust.

Step 5: Place the bacon, cream cheese, cheddar and mozzarella cheese, jalapeños, green onions and pepper in a bowl and mix until combined.

Step 6: Use a knife or piping bag to stuff the mixture inside the baguettes.

FOR THE GARLIC BUTTER

Step 7: Melt butter with the garlic and salt in the microwave or on the stove.

Step 8: Brush the baguette with garlic butter (or you can do this after you slice it).

Step 9: Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch slices.

Step 10: Keep the slices pressed up against each other, and transfer to a large piece of foil.

Step 11: Wrap the baguette, then bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the bread is crusty and the cheese inside is melted. Best served warm.
