Jalepeno Popper Pull Apart Bread

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375 degrees F

2. 2

   Slice bread to make 1/2 to 1-inch sections slicing almost all the way to the bottom of the loaf. Be careful not to cut too far or to cut through. I used a serrated knife and cut on inch slices all the way down the width way of the loaf. Then I used my kitchen sheers to snip the 1/2 to 1-inch sections on each row, just to avoid any of them tearing off. Set aside.

3. 3

   In a microwave safe dish, soften cream cheese in 30 second increments, stirring in-between each increment for about a minute and a half until cream cheese is soft and melty.

4. 4

   Stir in Jalapenos and bacon to the cream cheese.

5. 5

   Part bread sections at a time and smear cream cheese mixture into the groves of bread slices. Make sure to lather it up on each pull apart side as best as you can.

6. 6

   Place in a small slice of the cheddar cheese evenly throughout the grooves.

7. 7

   Wrap bread tightly with foil and place on a cookie sheet.

8. 8

   Bake at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes. Uncover, then return to oven for 5-7 minutes until cheese is melty.
