Crusty French Bread With Cheese

This is simple but so yummy, you can't believe how good it is. It is the bread that sets it apart from anything similar. I have been making this for years and my husband and I can almost eat a whole loaf by ourselves. You must buy the French Baguette, the kind that will not keep, it must be used the day you buy it. Here in Missouri, I find it at Dierbergs Grocery.
