Cheesy Swiss Bacon Ranch Bread

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with a slicone baking mat or several layers of parchment papaer or aluminum foil. (This helps to keep the bread from getting too dark on the bottom and makes cleanup easier.)

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the butter and ranch dressing mix until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

Slice bread into about 16 1-inch pieces being cautious about not cutting all the way through the bottom of the bread.

Step 4

Place the bread on the prepared pan. Using a pastry brush or spoon, spread the butter mixture on both sides of each slice of bread.

Step 5

Cut Swiss cheese slices in half and place one piece in between each of the bread slices.

Step 6

Cut bacon strips in half and then cut each half in half lengthwise - giving you 4 pieces of bacon from each slice. Place a strip on top of each slice of bread.

Step 7

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the bacon is crisp and the cheese is melted.
