Ingredients

Crawfish Bread Ingredients

  • Crawfish Tails: 1 lb (fresh or frozen)
  • Cream Cheese: 8 oz (softened)
  • Shredded Cheese: 1 cup (mix of cheddar and mozzarella)
  • Bell Pepper: 1 (finely chopped)
  • Green Onions: 2 (chopped)
  • Garlic Powder: 1 tsp
  • French Bread: 1 large baguette or loaf

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the crawfish tails, cream cheese, shredded cheese, bell pepper, green onions, and garlic powder. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for your Crawfish Bread.
  3. Prepare the Bread: Slice the French bread in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out some of the bread from the center to create space for the filling.
  4. Fill the Bread: Generously spoon the crawfish filling into the hollowed-out bread halves, spreading it evenly. Press gently to compact the filling.
  5. Bake: Wrap the filled bread in aluminum foil and place it on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the bread is warm and the filling is hot and bubbly.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven, unwrap, and slice into portions. Serve hot and enjoy the delightful flavors of your Crawfish Bread!

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh crawfish and produce will elevate the dish’s flavor significantly.
  • Don’t Overmix: When combining ingredients, mix just enough to combine, so the filling remains airy.
  • Experiment with Breads: Try different types of bread like sourdough or ciabatta for a unique twist.
  • Serve Immediately: Crawfish Bread is best enjoyed fresh from the oven for maximum flavor and texture.
  • Adjust Seasoning: Taste the filling before baking; you can always adjust the seasoning to your liking.
