Ingredients
1 loaf French bread
½ cup softened butter
⅓ cup mayonnaise
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 ounces canned diced green chiles (including their juices)
Instructions
Step 1: Prep & Preheat
Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C).
Line a baking sheet with foil or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Mix the Spread
In a medium bowl, mix together the softened butter, mayonnaise, diced green chiles with their juices, and shredded cheddar cheese until fully combined.
Step 3: Slice & Spread
Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise.
Spread the chile-cheese mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread.
Place the bread halves cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4: Bake & Broil
Bake at 500°F for 5 minutes until the cheese melts.
Switch the oven to broil and cook for 1–2 minutes, until the topping becomes bubbly and lightly golden. Watch closely to avoid burning.
Step 5: Slice & Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
Slice into pieces and serve warm.
Notes
For extra spice, add jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes.
You can substitute Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack cheese for a different flavor.
Best served fresh and warm for the crispiest texture.
