Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole baguette
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 small jalapeño, finely diced
- 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
- 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Arrange the slices on the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly brush the tops of the baguette slices with melted butter.
In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Stir in the diced jalapeño, green onions, and crumbled bacon to the cheese mixture.
Spread a generous amount of the cheese mixture onto each baguette slice, covering the tops evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the baguette are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 2 minutes. Serve immediately for a warm and zippy snack!
