Rustic loaf bread, cross hatched and stuffed with Monterey Jack cheese, pickled jalapeños and green onions, baked until all melty. Yum!

Meandering along the Internet highway one day I happened upon several recipes for what looked like a hedgehog made of bread, stuffed with melted cheese and bacon.

Brilliant! A lot like cheesy bread but more fun. I thought I would do my own version with jack and jalapeños.

Yum! It’s like a bread version of nachos. In the shape of a hedgehog. That you have to get your fingers messy with melted cheese to eat.

Just the thing for a bunch of rowdies gathered to watch football, don’t you think?

Speaking of which, we have several fine Superbowl recipes on the site if you are looking for ideas. And go Niners. (Yes, I know they’re not playing. There’s always next season.)
