Directions

Slice loaf 1" thick, leaving approx. ¼" of the base intact; turn loaf 90° and slice 1" thick (again, leaving the base intact), creating a cross-hatch pattern on the loaf. Place loaf on an extra-large piece of foil sprayed lightly with cooking spray. Sprinkle cheese over loaf, getting between the cuts. Wrap bread completely in foil; bake on a baking sheet in a preheated 375° oven until cheese is melted (15-20 min.). Remove bread from oven and unwrap, leaving foil under the loaf to make cleanup easier. Increase oven temperature to 425°. Melt butter in a small dish in the microwave; stir in seasoning. Brush bread with seasoned melted butter all over the top and in the cuts. Bake, unwrapped, until golden-brown (about 10 min.). Cool slightly. Garnish with parsley; serve with sauce on the side for dipping.
