Ingredients
-
8 ounces
Swiss cheese slices
-
3/4 cup
butter or margarine
-
4 ounces
mushrooms, sliced
-
2 tablespoons
minced onion
-
1 tablespoon
poppy seeds
-
1 teaspoon
seasoned salt
-
1 tablespoon
dry mustard
-
1 tablespoon
lemon juice
-
1
loaf French bread
Directions
-
Make slices almost to bottom of loaf but leaving 1/4 inch or so, about 1-inch apart, on a slant. Then, do this again but on the opposite slant, so you’re making little diamonds across the loaf while leaving bottom intact.
-
Stuff thin slices of cheese in openings. Place loaf on foil cookie sheet. In a pan, melt butter and sauté mushrooms until caramelized. Off the heat, stir in the onion, poppy seed, salt, mustard, and lemon juice. Pour mixture over bread.
-
Seal foil tightly around loaf. Bake at 350°F for 45 min on top oven rack.
