DID YOU KNOW?
When you see the Blue Cow Logo on a product, it means it's made with 100% Canadian quality milk that meets some of the highest standards in the world.
Preparation
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place bread on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
With a knife, make cuts in the loaf 2˝ (5 cm) deep and 1˝ (2.5 cm) apart. Turn bread and make cuts again to create 1˝ (2.5 cm) squares.
For extra tanginess (optional), spoon salsa verde into the cuts.
Insert lots of Canadian cheese into the cuts.
Cover with aluminum foil and cook in the oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil and cook for 10 more minutes.
Sprinkle with coriander or parsley (if using).
Serve hot in centre of the table and let everyone pull off cubes of bread.
Salsa verde (optional)
In a food processor, chop garlic with onion and jalapeno.
Add cilantro and process until finely chopped.
Add tomatillos and pulse until combined, but not too smooth.
Mix in lime juice and salt to taste.
Transfer to a container and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
