Swiss Cheest Bread Bites

Ingredients:

1 loaf French bread
8 oz. (2 sticks) butter, softened
2 cups (8 oz.) shredded Swiss cheese
3/4 teaspoon celery seed
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons parsley flakes

Directions:

Trim top and side crusts from bread leaving bottom crust intact.
Make diagonal cuts, 1 inch thick, through the bread but not through the bottom.

Mix all remaining ingredients.

Spread half the butter mixture between bread slices.

Use remaining mixture to frost top and sides of bread. Place bread in foil boat, cover loosely with another sheet of foil.

Bake at 425 degrees for 20 - 30 minutes. For last 5 minutes, remove foil to allow bread to brown.
