Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
• 1 tablespoon minced onion
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 pound Swiss cheese, sliced
• 1 (1 1/2) pound round loaf sourdough bread
• 1 tablespoon seasoned salt (such as Spice Islands® Beau Monde Seasoning)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Step 2

Cut a checkerboard pattern on top sourdough bread, about 1 inch apart, with a serrated knife; do not cut through loaf, slices should be attached at the bottom.

Step 3

Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat; stir in mustard, poppy seeds, seasoned salt, onion, and lemon juice until combined. Place bread on prepared baking sheet; gradually pour butter mixture evenly over bread squares and between cuts, letting butter mixture soak into bread. Stuff Swiss cheese slices between bread squares.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese melts and begins to bubble and brown, about 30 minutes.
