Ingredients
1Sourdough loafuncut
1/2cupbuttermelted
4clovesgarliccrushed
1cupFire Roasted Tomato Soup
1/2cupgrated parmesan cheese
1/2cupshredded Monterey Jack or Provolone cheese
1/2cupshredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/4cupchopped basil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cut the loaf of sourdough bread lengthwise and widthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through. Place on top a foil covered baking sheet (make sure you have enough foil to wrap around the whole sourdough loaf).
Mix the melted butter and crushed garlic together. Pour half of it into the cracks of the bread, trying to get down into the loaf. Get out a pastry brush if necessary and brush the bread.
Pour the tomato soup into the cracks, using the brush to really spread it around.
Mix together the cheeses and chopped basil. Stuff into the cracks and sprinkle over the bread.
Pour the rest of the butter and garlic mixture over the bread.
Wrap with the foil and bake 15 minutes. Uncover and bake 10 more minutes. Serve immediately.
Notes
The crushed garlic sinks to the bottom of the melted butter making it hard to equally distribute it.
