Cheesy Jalapeno Bacon-Stuffed Bread

Created by Chaz on March 2, 2016

8 ounces bacon, diced
1 baguette bread (the long thin kind)
8 ounces cream cheese (Philadelphia cream cheese, softened, full or low fat)
1 cup cheddar cheese, finely shredded
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, finely shredded
1/4 to 1/3 cup jalapeño peppers, finely chopped (if using fresh, deseed it. Or use canned, drained)

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.
