Today is National Cheese Lover’s Day and you better believe we are celebrating! We love cheese so we have to celebrate. It is a MUST! Make sure you head on over to Arla’s Instagram page because I am sharing lots of cheesy photos today! To celebrate this special day, I thought about making one of our favorite grilled cheese sandwiches, mac and cheese, or an epic cheese platter, but my boys asked for their favorite Cheesy Bacon Pull-Apart Bread. I agreed because it is the perfect bread for Cheese Lover’s Day. It is loaded with cheesy goodness.
Oh, and you caught that there is bacon involved too, right? Yeah, no wonder my boys love this bread. All of their favorites in one loaf of bread!
To make pull-apart bread, start with a large loaf of Italian, French, or Sourdough bread. All work well, so choose your favorite. You really can’t go wrong with carbs:) Cut the bread in a grid pattern, making sure you don’t cut all of the way to the bottom. You want the loaf to stay together. Drizzle garlic butter in between the crevices of the bread and bake for 10 minutes. If we stopped here, the bread would be good, but oh no, it is Cheese Lover’s Day! Bring on the cheese!
Things are about to get very cheesy getting up in here! Are you ready? Let’s do this! We use Arla Dofino’s Gouda cheese because it is the best! It has a slight nutty flavor and sweetness that goes great with the smoky bacon.
Stuff the bread with bacon pieces and shredded Arla Gouda cheese. And when I say stuff, I mean STUFF. You want the bread to be loaded! Sprinkle green onions on top and put the bread back in the oven.
Bake until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden. The smell will have you watching the kitchen timer. My boys never go far when this bread is in the oven!
Remove from the oven and pull away! This bread is delicious and fun to eat! This Cheesy Bacon Pull-Apart Bread is the perfect bread for Cheese Lover’s Day. It is also great for parties, game day, or any day. Josh has already requested it for Super Bowl Sunday! It is always a hit! What are you waiting for? Go get your cheese on and make this Cheesy Bacon Pull-Apart Bread! Happy Cheese Lover’s Day!
