Greek Freak Cheesy Pesto Pull-Apart Bread

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons Spiceology Greek Freak Mediterranean Blend

  • 1 Costco / Kirkland fresh French bread loaf
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter (soft and room temp)
  • 4 cups Costco / Kirkland Romano Parmesan Cheese Blend
  • 1 cup Costco / Kirkland Pesto

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375° F. - In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of soft butter and Spiceology Greek Freak Mediterranean Blend. Mix until the butter has softened more and the Greek Freak appears to be evenly dispersed.

  2. Slice the French loaf into slices 4/5 of the way to bottom of the loaf. The loaf should still be intact with all the slices. It should "accordion" and not fall apart. Place loaf on a large piece of heavy duty aluminum foil on a baking sheet.
  3. Apply Greek Freak butter in between each slice making sure to reserve 2 tablespoons worth of the butter. - Follow with the pesto and repeat.

  4. Follow with the cheese and repeat making sure to stuff with cheese. - Spread the rest of the butter on top of the loaf and spread some of the remaining tub of pesto on top.
  5. Using the aluminum foil under the bread, roll it up around the bread loaf to encase.
  6. Place in the oven for 30-45 minutes.
  7. Uncover, let cool for 5 minutes or attempt to eat it while it's molten lava hot. I don't recommend doing that later, but that's what I did. (It was worth it.)
