Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming
down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or
shifting shadow. (James 1:17)

Bloomin' Party Bread

16 ounces Monterey Jack cheese slices
1½ lb. loaf sourdough bread – long, not sliced
1 stick butter, melted
2 t. poppy seeds
½ t. garlic powder
3 green onions, thinly sliced
Cooking spray

---

Make one slice down the top of the bread two thirds of the way through the long way. Then, make a bunch of cuts 1” apart and also two thirds trough all the way down the bread to create the "blooming bread" effect. Place the bread on a cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Mix the melted butter, poppy seed, and garlic powder and poor evenly over bread in between cuts. Take ½ green onion and sprinkle between slices. Insert cheese slices in 1 direction, then tear the remaining pieces and insert in the spaces in the other direction. Sprinkle the remaining green onion on top. Place in the oven on broil until cheese is melted and turning brown and bubbly. Serve immediately.
