Okay, so look. I’m a bad influence. I’m just going to admit it and we’ll all just move on okay?
I’m like that bad boy that you loved when you were in high school, but if you dated him your dad probably would have ended up in jail, but you were in high school, so really, who cared if your dad was in jail, right? Bad boys are cute, fun, and dangerous. Who cares about Dad when you’re in high school?
Well, I’m like the bad boy. You know I’m not good for you, your parents think I’m a terrible influence, and you’ll probably get grounded if you sneak into the kitchen one more time to make one of my recipes.
But, just like the bad boy, I’m totally worth it. This bread is totally worth it. Sure, it’s a huge loaf of bread stuffed with as much cheese as you can possibly fit and then drizzled with butter, and that might sound boring, but oh no. It’s not boring. It’s excitement and danger all rolled up into one. Besides, if you’re grounded, you can totally eat more delicious food. Who cares about going out at night and partying? Eating tasty food is totally cooler.
At least, that’s what I always tell myself on Friday nights when I’m home alone shoving this bread in my face.
Bloomin’ Onion Bread
Ingredients
- 1 loaf sourdough bread unsliced
- 12-16 ounces thinly sliced Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1/2 cup finely diced green onions
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Cut the bread lengthwise and then widthwise without cutting into the bottom of the bread.
- Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Place the cheese slices between the cuts of bread. Really fill in the bread with as much cheese as you can fit.
- Combine butter, green onions, garlic powder, and Parmesan cheese. Pour evenly over the bread.
- Cover the bread with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Uncover the bread and bake for 10 minutes longer. Serve hot.

You’re my kind of bad influence. Who cares if you’re home alone if you’ve got one of these bad boys to keep you company…yum!

Ive seen this bread about the blogging world a couple of times now but it never ceases to make me drool. Its just so stupidly moorish looking, i think i could easily eat far too much given the chance 🙂
ps your story made me giggle, i love your style of writing!

I’m going to make this bread tomorrow, devour it, and call it carb-loading for my long run on Saturday. Rationalization. Love it.

Love it! When I saw this – it immediately brought me back to when I attempted a bloomin’ onion – big annoying mess. I bet this is 100x easier to make and way more delicious. 🙂 Huge fan of yummy bread.

I’m on my way to the supermarket and I’m going to have a look at the refrigerated doughs. I’m thinking this would be fun to do with some freshly baked rolls or some such thing. I’ll let you know.

NOM NOM This looks good. So good that I had to re-tweet it. And that I am going to have to make it soon. Like tonight. And so good that I am going to ignore my milk allergy and eat some of it, too.
