Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
4 ounces crumbled blue cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon minced chives
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 loaf (1 pound) unsliced French bread

Directions

In a small bowl, combine first 5 ingredients. Cut into bread to make 1-in.-thick slices, but don't cut all the way through—leave slices attached at bottom. Spread cheese mixture between slices.
Wrap loaf in a large piece of heavy-duty foil (about 28x18 in.); fold around bread and seal tightly. Bake at 350° until heated through, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.
