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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Place the stuffed bread halves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped chives, if desired.
Step 8
Slice the stuffed bread into 1- to 2-inch pieces for serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
