Stuffed Salmon & Cheese Bread Ingredients (6–8 servings): 1 large crusty bread loaf (round boule or baguette-style) 200 g smoked salmon (or cooked salmon fillet, flaked) 200 g cream cheese (softened) 100 g shredded mozzarella (or Gruyère/cheddar) 2 tbsp fresh dill or chives, chopped Juice of ½ lemon 2 tbsp butter, melted 1 garlic clove, minced Freshly ground black pepper Instructions: Prepare the bread: Slice the loaf crosswise and lengthwise into a grid pattern, without cutting all the way through (like a pull-apart bread). Make the filling: In a bowl, mix cream cheese, lemon juice, dill/chives, and black pepper. Gently fold in flaked salmon (reserve a little for topping if desired). Stuff the bread: Spread the cream cheese–salmon mixture into the cuts of the bread. Tuck shredded cheese between the slices for a melty finish. Add garlic butter: Mix melted butter with minced garlic and drizzle evenly over the bread. Bake: Wrap in foil and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15–20 minutes, until the cheese melts. Uncover and bake another 5 minutes to crisp the top. Serve: Garnish with extra dill or salmon, then pull apart and enjoy warm. 👉 This bread is cheesy, savory, and rich with salmon flavor—a perfect showstopper for holidays, buffets, or cozy family dinners.
