Ham and Cheese Stuffed Bread

Instructions:

1. Prepare the bread:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Slice the loaf of bread in half lengthwise. Hollow out the inside of both halves, leaving about a half-inch of bread around the edges. (You can save the bread you hollow out for croutons or breadcrumbs.)

2. Make the filling:

  • In a bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped ham, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. If you like a little tang, add the Dijon mustard for extra flavor and creaminess.
  • Mix everything together until well combined.

3. Stuff the bread:

  • Generously fill each half of the bread with the ham and cheese mixture, pressing down gently to pack it in.

4. Bake the stuffed bread:

  • Brush the top of the bread with melted butter and sprinkle a little more oregano on top for a fragrant finish.
  • Place the stuffed bread halves on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.

5. Serve and enjoy:

  • Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing into individual pieces.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley, slice, and serve warm.

This Ham and Cheese Stuffed Bread is perfect for parties, picnics, or even as a quick and hearty snack for a cozy night in. The gooey cheese combined with the savory ham inside soft, crusty bread—simply irresistible!
