This was a really delicious bread. And so easy to prepare, which I really liked. The mustard sauce gave the bread a nice kick that even my kids enjoyed. This would be a nice recipe to take to a potluck, or even for Super Bowl Sunday. Thanks, HokiesLady. This recipe is going right into my "keeper" file.

O WOW!! What a huge, decadent, treat this was over the weekend! I used unsalted butter and added a bit of shredded Asaigo cheese to the cuts as well. It was devoured instantly! Thanks for posting, Hokie.

I took this to a friend's house last night along with another similar recipe and this one was demolished in half the time! I loved the tang from the lemon juice. Thought this was absolutely perfect with the cheddar/monterey jack combo I used.

This had great flavor and was a great way to use up a sour dough loaf that had been given to me. The garlic butter mixture was really tasty and would probably be great on regular garlic bread. I found this a little awkward to eat, though. You sort of have to pull it apart, and some pieces get cheese and some don't. When you get a piece crisp from the garlic butter and gooey with cheese, though, it is quite dellightful! Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup Tag Game.

This was a nice change from regular garlic bread. I cut it down to two servings (1/16 of the recipe) and put the topping on slices of sourdought bread. The butter mix has a nice tang though the Jack cheese is a bit mild; I might try another reviewer's suggestion and add some Asiago or aged Parmesan. Made for Best of 2010 Tag
