DIRECTIONS

Melt butter in a small sauté pan over low heat. Cook onions and garlic five minutes. Do not brown. Remove from the heat and stir in the mustards, Creole seasoning and black pepper. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine cheeses, bacon and parsley.

Cut bread into1-inch thick slices on a diagonal. Do not cut all the way through the bottom of the loaf (The loaf may need to be cut in half to fit in a freezer).

Place the French bread on a large sheet of foil and distribute the cheese mixture between the diagonal slices. Drizzle butter mixture over the loaf, making sure that it goes into the center of the slices. Rub the mixture over the entire surface of the bread.

Wrap the loaf in the foil and freeze.

To cook: Preheat oven to 350. Remove bread from oven and allow to sit for 15-20 minutes. Bake 20-25 minutes.
