Ingredients

• 1 French bread loaf
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 pound Cooked crawfish tails
• 1 tablespoon Creole seasoning
• 4 Green onions (sliced)
• 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese (shredded)
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise and set the halves on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up.

Step 3

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the crawfish tails and Creole seasoning. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the crawfish are heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, lemon juice, and parsley. Stir until smooth and well-mixed.

Step 6

Fold in the crawfish mixture and green onions into the cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly.

Step 7

Spread the crawfish mixture evenly onto the cut sides of the French bread halves.

Step 8

Place the bread in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. Then switch to the broil setting for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Slice into pieces and serve warm.
