Cook Time20 Minutes

Ingredients

1/2 Tbsp. Oil

8 oz. Bacon, diced

French Baguette

8 oz. Cream Cheese, softened

1 Cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded

1/2 Cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded

1/4 Cup Jalapeños, finely chopped

1 Cup Shallots, finely chopped (green and white part)

Black Pepper, to taste

3 Tbsp. Butter

2 Garlic Cloves, minced

Pinch of Salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F
Heat oil in a pan over high heat. Add bacon and cook until lightly browned. Remove onto a plate lined with a paper towel to drain excess fat. Set aside to cool.
Cut the ends off the baguette and cut the baguette in half (or quarters- this makes it easier to stuff).
Use a long knife (preferable bread knife) to cut the bread out, leaving about a 1/2" wall of bread and crust.
Place the bacon, cream cheese cheddar and mozzarella cheese, jalapeños, shallots and pepper in a bowl and mix until well combined.
Use a knife or piping bag to stuff the mixture inside the baguettes.
Make the Garlic Butter: melt butter with the garlic and salt in the microwave or on the stove.
Brush the baguette with garlic butter.
Slice the baguette into 1/2" slices.
Keep the slices pressed up against each other, and transfer to a large piece of foil.
Wrap the baguette, then bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the bread is crusty and the cheese inside is melted.
Serve warm!
