My friend Kathy brought this to one of our Wednesday Wine Night events and I hadn’t even swallowed my first bite before I was screaming for the recipe.
It’s basically just bread that’s been scored and then mushrooms and Swiss cheese are stuffed in the crevices. Oh…and there’s lots of butter involved.
Sprinkle with some poppy seeds and bake and you’ve got yourself an oozy-gooey cheesy pull-apart mushroom bread appetizer. I took this to a party at friend Karen’s house for a cookbook celebration and had several requests for the recipe. And thanks to Kirsten for being my hand model.

On this day..
It was delicious, Lea Ann.Thanks for bringing it to Karen’s so I could try it, too.
Yeah- so happy to have this recipe! This will make an appearance at my house sometime over the holidays this year. I’d better make it when I have company with whom to share it or else I’d eat the whole thing. It was tasty!
Lee Ann, this looks so good. What a savory appetizer. Awesome.
Velva
Thanks Velva.
That does look insanely good!
Great description Jane … it’s insanely good.
Lots of goodness in this one. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Vienna bread. It reminds me of money bread. Would a regular boule work?

I didn’t use Vienna bread, but do think I’ve seen it. I used a round loaf of Sour Dough from Whole Foods. I thought the bottom of the bread got a little hard in the baking process, so thinking a softer crusted bread is a must.
When I saw the title, I expected nothing like this – it looks like something very special.
It’s one of those “love at first bite” things.
Thanks for posting this recipe Lea Ann. Everyone who reads this should definitely try it. It is so delicious.
You’re welcome Karen.
butter – yea! never saw anything like this, and if you screamed at first bite, I know it is a knock-out… perfect for football watching
I most definitely screamed at first bite.
Yes, this is perfect for a football crowd. Always good to hear from you Drick.
Been there, eaten that.
Nice job, and great photos : )
Thanks Dan, I was rather proud of those photos. Still using my point and shoot.
That looks AMAZING!!!
You need to try it Jenn, I thought it was amazing.
Yeah! Diet food be gone!
Now we’re talking – I have been dying to know how to make this decadent looking appetizer. My guys are going to be so happy about this one.
Reminds me of my favorite Julia quote… “Everything in moderation, including moderation”.
Oh, that does look delicious! I love it when I try a new recipe from a friend and it turns out to be something I want to make it again myself because it’s so good!
Susan, this is definitely one of those. Sooooo good. And I’m so glad I have friends that are willing to share the recipes.
This bread looks so addictive! The perfect appetizer.
Thanks Joanne.
Forget bloomin onions, I want this mushroom cheese bloomin bread. Butter, butter, butter…yum.
It’s good Rhonda. So good to hear from you.
I could more than likely eat that whole thing myself!
Yup, it’s one of those type dishes.
I’ve seen this all over Pinterest (or something similar). It looks heavenly
I saw another version just recently on Pinterest. Must be the season.
Mushroom. Bread. Cheese . IT CAN’T BE BAD !!!! Yummy !
Axelle, I did saute the mushrooms first and added a splash of Marsala. omg
What a fun dish for a party! The melted Swiss cheese with the mushrooms sounds delicious!
It’s a crowd pleaser Lisa.
You have me thinking of a version of this with pulled pork!
