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!
