Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix the melted butter, olive oil, onion, garlic, Dijon mustard, poppy seeds and parsley in a bowl.
Cut the bread into cubes with X slices without cutting all the way through the bottom crust.
Pour the butter-onion garlic mixture carefully into those X cracks using a small spoon and over the top of the bread.
Fill those delicious cracks with the grated cheese. (It seems like a lot of work and trouble but it's all worth it.)
Wrap the entire loaf with foil, sealing the sides properly and bake for 15-20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and unwrap.
Bake for another 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and gooey.
