Easy Ham & Cheese Bread Loaf – The easiest crowd please snack or appetizer every single time, with bread, ham, cheddar cheese, olive oil and Italian seasoning. Quick and easy recipe. Video recipe. | Tipbuzz.com

Here’s a fun snack for your next party. Perfect for casual get-togethers or game day, this Cheesy Baked Bread is a real crowd pleaser…

It oozes with yummy melty flavors coming out of the oven and looks fabulous. Simply slice the loaf into pieces and watch everybody devour them! More fun than picking over a cold cheese board…

This recipe is easy to prepare and only requires 5 simple ingredients. Try to get a rectangular sandwich bread loaf, which is easiest to slice into pieces after baking. We used white bread, although brown or multigrain work great as well.

The first step is carving out the middle of the loaf using a sharp serrated knife. Remove that piece and break into chunks in a bowl. Mix in the ham, half of the cheese, olive oil and Italian seasoning. Then add it all back to the loaf.

Top with the remaining cheese and then into the oven it goes. Watch our video tutorial to see how to make it:
