Ingredients
– 1 loaf of French bread
– 1/2 cup softened butter
– 1/3 cup mayonnaise
– 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
– 4 ounces canned diced green chilies with juices
Instructions
1-Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 500Β°F (260Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to make cleanup easy. This high-heat method gives the bread that bubbly, golden finish we all love.
2-Prepare mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, mayonnaise, canned green chilies with their juices, and shredded cheese until everything is well blended.
3-Prepare bread: Slice the French bread in half lengthwise, then spread the cheese mixture evenly on the cut sides.
4-Bake bread: Place the halves on the prepared baking sheet with the mixture facing up, and bake for 5 minutes.
5-Broil and finish: After the initial bake, switch the oven to broil and keep an eye on it until the top turns bubbly and golden brown this wonβt take long, so stay close! Once itβs done, carefully remove it from the oven, slice it up, and serve while itβs warm.
