Miss Santra Bread

I have a core group of friends who have been with me for years. Yesterday we gathered to celebrate our summer birthdays. We had a salad bar with grilled chicken, baby spinach, American salad blend, feta, 4-cheese blend, croutons, tomatoes, red peppers, garbanzo beans, artichoke hearts, blueberries, slivered flavored almonds, carrots, and avocado. To complete the meal we had a zucchini bake and Miss Santra Bread.

Sandra is a sometimes member of our little group. She couldn't make it yesterday, but her bread made an appearance. We've been eating "Sandra bread" for as long as I can remember, and have even joked that we don't really need anything else as long as there are several loaves of it!

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 T. prepared mustard
1 T. poppy seeds
1/4 cup minced onions
1 loaf Pepperidge Farm Italian Bread (or similar dense bread)
8 slices Swiss cheese, cut into thirds

Mix first 4 ingredients. Cut loaf in 1" slices almost all the way through the loaf. Insert cheese in each cut. Spread butter mixture over the top of the loaf (yes, all of it!). Bake in a preheated oven, at 400* for 15-20 minutes. Serve with lots of napkins!

Here are few photos from our day -- 

LB added a little bacon!

Happy eating!
