Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and Lay out two long sheets of aluminum foil
- Melt the butter in the microwave. When melted, add the can of chopped green chilis to the butter.
- Slice the Italian loaf of bread in half lengthwise and open like a book. Make sure the two sides are separated from one another. Place each half on a long sheet of aluminum foil.
- Spread the butter mixture over each bread half. Sprinkle with salt and garlic powder.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over each half of the bread and top with the parmesan cheese. Sprinkle the paprika over the top.
- Crinkle the aluminum foil up around the bread and place the bread into the oven on the middle rack in the center of the oven.
Notes
- SUBSTITUTIONS
- Use a fresh fluffy bread for this recipe.
- Use Chopped green chilis in the small can, not the larger chunks.
- For an extra kick, you can add some chopped jalapeños as well, but only do so if your family/guests are ok with stronger/hotter flavors.
- It's important to use the softened butter so that the butter doesn't try to tear your bread when you spread it.
- Layer the cheese on pretty high because as it melts over the edges of the bread, it makes a delightful crust.
- If using salted butter, use less salt for sprinkling.
- Always bake this on some aluminum foil either directly on the rack or on a baking sheet. If the cheese drips, you don't want that in the bottom of your oven.
- Bread - If you don't have Italian, it's fine to try this with other hearty breads like texas toast or french breads.
- Butter - butter substitutes that melt and are soft for combining with the chilis work fine.
- Seasoning - Feel free to change up the seasonings as you see fit. You can try onion powder, chili powder, cumin, ranch dressing seasoning, etc.
- Cheese - I often use a mozzarella for this bread but it also works great with a Monterey Jack or even a sharp cheddar. A small sprinkle of parm over the top when it comes out of the oven is delightful as well.
