Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 1 stalk celery chopped
- 1 medium bell pepper chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 pound cooked crawfish tails roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon Cajun Seasoning
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- ½ cup mayo
- 1 teaspoon Creole mustard or use spicy brown mustard
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese or use other melty cheese
- For garnish: chopped fresh parsley, red chili flakes or paprika
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise. Scoop out some of the bread to make room for the filling, if desired. Set onto a baking sheet.
- Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and bell pepper. Cook for 5 minutes to soften.
- Add the garlic and cook 1 minute.
- Add the crawfish tails and Cajun seasoning. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring a bit.
- Stir in the cream cheese until melted through and incorporated, about 2 minutes.
- Transfer the pan ingredients to a mixing bowl. Stir in the mayo, mustard, and shredded cheeses. Mix until well combined.
- Spread the cheese mixture over the pieces of French bread and bake for 12 minutes.
- Increase oven heat to “broil” then broil the crawfish bread until the bread is toasty and the topping is browned and bubbly.
- Remove from heat, cool enough to slice, then serve.
Notes
- Keep the scooped out bread to use as croutons or as a thickener for sauces.
