One of my favorite taste memories as a kid is this delicious bread loaf my grandmother's best friend used to make and bring to get-togethers. Of course, as a child, I didn't like onions, so I tended to pick those out, but now, I love them! I hope this savory side brings a note of warmth and love to your meals, too.
1 (large) loaf French bread
1 stick butter, softened
2 tsp. prepared (Dijon) mustard
1 Tbsp. poppy seeds
1/4-1/2 cup minced onions
1-8 oz. package of sliced Swiss cheese
Begin by slicing a loaf of French bread, being careful to not slice all the way through. Mix butter, mustard, poppy seeds, and onion in a small bowl and place a heaping teaspoon of the mixture in between each slice. Place half of a Swiss cheese slice in between the slices and wrap in foil. Bake on a sheet pan in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Serve hot.
I also found a recipe using these same flavors in a quick bread. I have yet to try it, but I will post it here in case some of you get around to it before I do.
3 1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 Tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
1/3 c. butter
1/3-1/2 c. onion, minced
2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
1 Tbsp. poppy seeds
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 1/2 c. milk
2 tsp. prepared mustard
Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a food processor; pulse a few times to combine. Cube butter and add to processor bowl and pulse until mixture is crumbly. Add onions, Swiss cheese, poppy seeds, eggs, milk, and mustard, and pulse until just combined. Spoon batter in a greased and floured 9x5 inch loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour 10 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If bread starts to brown too much, tent loosely with foil after 50 minutes. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then remove from pan.
