Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 French bread loaf
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup Mayonnaise
- 7 oz Green chiles, canned and diced
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 2 tbsp Chives, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise and carefully hollow out the center of each half, leaving about 1/2-inch of bread around the edges to create a shell. Set the removed bread aside for another use or discard.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, diced green chiles, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Scoop the cheese and green chile mixture into the hollowed-out halves of the French bread. Spread the mixture evenly so it fills the cavities completely.
Place the stuffed bread halves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese mixture is melted and bubbly and the edges of the bread are lightly toasted.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped chives, if desired.
Slice the stuffed bread into 1- to 2-inch pieces for serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
