Cheesy Beef Sandwich Pull Apart Bread

It's like a beef sandwich minus the beef! Cheesy pull apart ciabatta bread stuffed with giardiniera and salty, beef au jus.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 7 minutes
Total Time 12 minutes
Servings 1 Loaf

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter at room temperature
  • 1 Ciabatta Demi-Baguette
  • 1 Cup Leftover Beef Au Jus
  • 1/2 Cup Shredded Mozzarella
  • 6 Ounces Sliced Fresh Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1/2 Cup Mild Giardiniera
  • Fresh Chopped Parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the broiler of your oven to low. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut the loaf the long way, two times, being sure not to cut all the way through the loaf. Then cut width-wise about 5-6 times being sure not to cut all the way through the loaf. You want to make tiny cubes.
  3. Spread the butter all over the top of the loaf. Place on the prepared sheet and put in the oven for 2 minutes just to get that top a little golden.
  4. Remove from the oven. Stuff each little cut in the loaf with the shredded mozzarella cheese and giardiniera. Pour about 1/2 a cup of the au jus inside the loaf. Cover with the slices of fresh mozzarella.
  5. Place back under the broiler for about 5 minutes, until the cheese melts and gets super gooey.
  6. Meanwhile microwave the rest of the au jus for a minute so it is nice and hot and you can dip the bread in extra jus.
  7. Once the cheese is melted, remove from oven. Top with chopped fresh parsley. Use a fork or fingers to pluck off cubes of cheesy bread. Dunk in extra au jus if desired.
