Step 1: Bread ... Cut the top of the bread, using a serrated knife, diagonally into 1" intervals, about 1-1 1/2" deep. Then, cut in the opposite direction to create a diamond or cross hatch pattern.
Step 2: Cheese and Mushrooms ... Stuff the cheese cubes and mushrooms slices in between the cuts of the bread. Make sure to stuff them in and much as you can.
Step 3: Sauce ... Add the butter, shallot, garlic, mustard, lemon juice, poppy seeds, seasoning salt, and pepper, to a small bowl or measuring cup; and, microwave at medium heat for 30 seconds intervals, until melted.
Step 4: Then, pour the mixture over the bread in all the cuts, where the mushrooms and cheese are; and make sure to brush some on top of the bread as well.
Step 5: Bake ... Wrap the loaf in foil, and bake at 350 degrees, middle shelf, for approximately 35-40 minutes. The bread should slightly crisp on the outside, and, the filling - completely melted.
Step 6: Serve and ENJOY! ... As I said, this is rich; so, I like to serve this with a nice salad, and maybe a grilled steak or roast chicken. Keep it simple! It is absolutely - delicious and addictive!
