Cheesy Bread Fingers
This Halloween appetizer definitely deserves a spot on your Halloween Dinner Party Menu! This cheesy bread is beyond delicious!
Servings: 4 servings, as an appetizer
Equipment
- Aluminum foil or parchment paper
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 cup freshly grated mozzarella cheese not bagged mozzarella
- 2 cups freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup mayo
- 1 tablespoon sour cream
- 1 loaf of French bread or ciabatta bread, halved
- 1 (6-ounce) bag pepperoni cut in quarters
Instructions
- Preheat oven to broil on high. Slice loaf of bread in half horizontally (crusts down) and place both halves on a large sheet pan (line with foil, parchment paper, or spay with cooking spray). Set aside.
- In a bowl, mix softened butter and garlic together until smooth. In a separate large bowl, mix together the cheeses, mayo, and sour cream until combined. Combine the two mixtures.
- Spread and smooth cheese mixture evenly on both loaves. Place cheesy bread under the broiler for 2–4 minutes or until nicely browned. Watch carefully to avoid burning!
- Meanwhile, cut pepperoni in quarters to resemble finger nails.
- Remove and allow to slightly cool before cutting (use a sharp bread knife) into thin slices to resemble “fingers.” Place one pepperoni wedge at the top of each thin slice.
- Enjoy immediately with a side of marinara sauce if desired.
