Recipe

• 1 preheat the oven to 350°f.
• 2 mix the melted butter, olive oil, onion, garlic, dijon mustard, poppy seeds and parsley in a bowl.
• 3 cut the bread into cubes with x slices without cutting all the way through the bottom crust.
• 4 pour the butter-onion garlic mixture carefully into those x cracks using a small spoon and over the top of the bread. fill those delicious cracks with the grated cheese. (it seems like a lot of work and trouble but it's all worth it. yes.).
