Pepper Jack Cheese Bread

Easy Pepper Jack Cheese Bread Recipe

How to Make the Best Pepper Jack Cheese Bread Recipe

• Ingredients you'll need to make homemade Pepper Jack Cheese Bread: One large loaf of Italian bread, shredded pepper jack cheese, cream cheese, mayonnaise, chopped green onions, cooked and crumbled bacon, minced garlic, butter, chopped pickled jalapenos, salt and black pepper.
• Kitchen gadgets you'll need: A large bread knife, chopping board and knife, mixing bowl, measuring cups and spoons, a large sheet pan lined with parchment paper, a skillet to cook the bacon and a cheese grater.
• To expedite assembly, you can fully prepare the filling and slather it onto the bread, then wrap each half in plastic wrap and chill overnight. Allow a few minutes at room temperature while the oven preheats, then uncover and place it onto a sheet pan to bake. You may need to add 5-10 minutes to the baking time to allow it to heat all the way through.
• For this bread I find it's best to use pickled jalapenos instead of fresh. Fresh jalapenos will remain slightly crisp after baking and the pickled jalapenos blend better with the remaining ingredients.
• Store leftover Pepper Jack Cheese Bread chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in single servings in the microwave or on a sheet pan in a 350°F oven for a few minutes.
• You can also freeze this bread for up to one month.

When to Serve Pepper Jack Cheese Bread

• At times, I'll serve this scrumptious cheese bread as a quick appetizer, but it's also a tasty accompaniment for a steamy bowl of soup or a salad.
• You can have this cheese bread prepared and served in less than 20 minutes making it ideal as a side dish or an appetizer.
