CRAWFISH BREAD
This is one of my "go to" appetizers! It's easy and flavorful and just says "Welcome to the South"! If you aren't a crawfish fan, substitute shrimp (peeled and deveined) for the crawfish! Or, if you're feeling it....substitute crabmeat! This bread will disappear from the table!

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large saute pan (or skillet), melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, green pepper and celery and saute for 5 minutes, or until softened. Add garlic and cook for a few minutes more.
- 2. Add crawfish tails, tomatoes and seasoning. Cook for 5 minutes and remove from heat. Allow to cool for 5 - 10 minutes.
- 3. In a large bowl, mix together mayonnaise, cheeses and scallions, until well blended. Stir in cooled crawfish and mix well.
- 4. Cut bread in half and then cut the bread lengthwise (making 4 pieces). Spoon mixture evenly on the four pieces, place in oven for 15 minutes. Turn oven to broil and broil for 3 - 5 minutes or until tops are lightly brown...watch closely so they don't burn!
- 5. Cut bread into slices and serve! Enjoy!
- 6. You can substitute ¾ cup frozen seasoning blend (referred to in the south as the Trinity) for the chopped onion, green pepper and celery.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°. Place bread halves, cut side up, on a baking sheet. Divide mayonnaise between bread halves, spreading evenly. Set aside. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sweet onion, and cook until softened, 5 minutes. Add garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add crawfish, green onion, and parsley, stirring to combine. Cook until crawfish is heated through, about 5 minutes. Add Cajun seasoning and cream cheese. Remove from heat, and stir until cheese is incorporated. Divide mixture between bread halves, spreading evenly to cover. Top each half with cheeses and paprika. Bake until cheese has melted, about 15 minutes. Increase oven temperature to broil. Broil 6 inches from heat until cheese has browned, about 2 minutes. Top with parsley, if desired. Serve warm.
