Cheesy French Bread
Beau Monde Cheese Bread is the perfect addition to any meal. This side dish goes especially well with grilled steak, fish, or chicken and veggies. A kind warning once you make this cheesy bread for a family gathering you will always be asked to bring it. Which is just fine because it’s super easy and oh so very delicious!
Shredded Gruyere cheese is something you probably won’t find in the grocery store you will have to shred it yourself or you can substitute shredded swiss. I personally like the nutty flavor of the Gruyere and it melts nicely. So now once you have the cheese mixed in with the butter mixture…smear it between the slices of the french bread….
Oh mama, save me from this evil…that calls itself bread! I DO love a good crusty loaf. Very hard not to sneak a slice….no one will ever know if I did, now will they….
Cheesy Beaumonde French Bread
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread cut into 1" slices
- 12 tbsp butter softened

- 1 tbsp minced onion dry or fresh
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp prepared mustard
- 1 tsp Beau Monde seasoning
- 2 cups Gruyere cheese shredded
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400℉
- Slice French bread in 1" thick slices, almost all the way through but not quite, leaving the loaf still intact. On a 10×15 baking sheet set bread on aluminum foil. Foil should be big enough to wrap bread up in before placing in oven to bake.
- Shred Gruyere cheese. Combine all the ingredients together in a medium sized mixing bowl using a spatula.
- Scoop a tablespoon of spread in between slices of bread and spread as well as possible to cover between each slice. Any remaining cheese spread can be spread over the top of the loaf. f
- Wrap the loaf up tight in aluminum foil and bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. You can unwrap and put back in oven if you would like it to be toasty on the top.
