1 loaf unsliced French bread (1 pound and 20 inches long)
8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1/2 cup chopped green onions or red onion
6 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

Repeat cuts in the opposite direction. Stuff bread with cheese and onions. Place on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 24 in. x 12 in.).

Combine the butter, lemon juice and mustard; drizzle over bread. Fold foil around bread. Place on a baking sheet.

Bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted. Unwrap; bake 5-10 minutes longer or until bread is lightly crisp. Cut into pieces; serve warm. Makes 8-10 servings.
