I made this a few times this summer and it was fantastic. To be honest I might use a little less butter--it seemed to get soggy on me. I just stumbled upon the recipe again a few days ago and now I am looking for time and an excuse to make it before I leave town on Wednesday at noon--probably not going to happen but I can hope. Maybe I'll surprise myself by getting my to do list done in time to make Marc and I a great steak, loaded sweet potato and baked fondue dinner tomorrow night. Hmmm, we'll see. Anyway, without further rambling, here you go Robin--if it strikes your fancy.

8 oz sliced swiss or mozzarella cheese (not the fake, individually wrapped sandwich kind)
round loaf sourdough bread
1 C butter, melted
1 Tbs lemon juice
1 Tbs dijon mustard
Score the sourdough loaf in criss-cross cuts, making sure you do not cut all the way to the bottom of the loaf. Combine butter, lemon juice and mustard. Stuff scores with slices of swiss cheese, then pour butter mixture into all of the cracks. Wrap the loaf in aluminum foil, making sure to reinforce the edges so that the butter doesn't leak out. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes, and let cool before serving. It's easiest to serve family style in the middle of the table where everybody just pulls off chunks. It's a bonding moment.

Excellent recipes! I feel so lucky that you posted them JUST for me! I am going to make them both!
Merry Christmas!
Oh- if you go into settings you can change the font color for links so people can tell there is a link. I think mine is green...or purple?
That looks divine. I think I will make it for Christmas dinner. Thanks for sharing!
ok YUM!!!!!!
YUM! I wish I had time to make it, but like you I have a long to do list before we leave on Wednesday.
This Fondue thingee looks really yummy. What do you eat it with? Also, I hope you didn't just judge my last sentence b/c I ended it with a "with" Mrs. English teacher. Ha! I am totally j/k.
Anyway....how do you like those peppermint Oreo's? My hubby has bought 4 packages of just the original in the last month, so I may turn into an even larger Oreo than I already am.
Thanks Diana! If I don't catch you before you leave, have an excellent trip. Call me when you get back.
