N'awlins Cheese Bread Ingredients

Method

Directions for N'awlins Cheese Bread

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tarter Sauce

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and set aside.

  2. 2

    Fry the Crawfish

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 180°C (350°F). Carefully add the crawfish tails and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on a paper towel.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Bread

    Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Slice the French bread in half lengthwise and place on a baking sheet.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Cheese Bread

    Spread a generous amount of the house-made tarter sauce on each half of the French bread. Top with fried crawfish tails, followed by a mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheese.

  5. 5

    Toast the Bread

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven, top with chopped tomatoes and chives. Slice and serve warm.
