                    I serve this satisfying bread as a side with meat, fish and main-dish soups and salads. The savory slices are lifesavers when you need a last-minute appetizer or brunch item. âLori Stefanishion, Drumheller, Alberta Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                6 cups sliced fresh mushrooms  |  
                                                1 tablespoon butter  |  
                                                4 green onions, chopped  |  
                                                1 loaf (1 pound) french bread  |  
                                                1 carton (8 ounces) spreadable garlic and herb cream cheese  |  
                                                2 cups (8 ounces) shredded italian cheese blend  |  
                                                1 cup mayonnaise  |  
                                                1 cup grated parmesan cheese  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. In a large skillet, saute mushrooms in butter until tender. Add onions; cook and stir until liquid has evaporated. Set aside. 2. Cut French bread in half lengthwise and then widthwise; spread cut sides with cream cheese. Combine the Italian cheese, mayonnaise and Parmesan cheese; spread over bread. Top with mushroom mixture. 3. Place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted. If desired, broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 2-4 minutes or until golden brown. Slice and serve warm. Yield: 16 servings.                              |
