Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread or baguette

- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup green onions chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 2 tablespoons butter melted

Instructions
Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or foil.
Prepare the Bread
- Cut French bread in half lengthwise. Hollow out a small portion in the middle for filling.
Make Crawfish Filling
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese, cheddar, green onions, garlic powder, Cajun seasoning, and crawfish tails.
Fill the Bread
- Spoon the crawfish mixture into the hollowed bread evenly. Spread gently to fill the entire loaf.
Add Butter
- Brush melted butter on top of the filled bread. This adds flavor and helps the cheese melt.
Bake the Bread
- Place bread on prepared tray. Bake in preheated oven for 20–25 minutes until cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Slice and Serve
- Remove from oven and let it cool slightly. Slice into pieces and serve warm as an appetizer.
Notes

- Adjust Cajun seasoning to your spice preference.
- Hollow out the bread carefully to hold filling.
- Add extra shredded cheese on top for a cheesy crust.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
