Mexican Cheese Bread

As you know...we love soup year 'round in the SFFS house. I normally like to serve some kind of bread with our soup so I'm always looking for ways to jazz it up a little bit. So when I made a yummy enchilada soup not long ago, I wanted a bread to match it. A little spice...a little cheese. This bread is SO good! If you're not a fan of cilantro, and I know lots of people are not...just leave it out. A few diced green chilies sprinkled on would be really good or if you're the brave type, throw on some sliced jalapenos for extra heat. Super yummy, guys!

Mexican Cheese Bread 



1 loaf french bread ~ sliced in half horizontally
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
2 cups shredded cheese
2 - 3 green onions ~ chopped
1/4 cup cilantro ~ chopped (optional)
1 cup cherry tomatoes ~ sliced

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium bowl, combine the mayo and the taco seasoning.

Add the cheese and stir. 

Divide cheese mixture and spread half on each loaf half.

Place sliced tomatoes on top and sprinkle with cilantro, if using. 

Place bread on a baking sheet and cover with foil.

Bake for 20 minutes until heated through.

Turn oven to broil.

Remove foil and broil bread until the bubbly on top.
