Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil and lightly coat with cooking spray. Set aside. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Using a serrated knife, make diagonal cuts across the loaf, about 1 inch apart, in one direction. Then, make similar cuts in the opposite direction, creating a crosshatch pattern. Be careful not to cut all the way through to the bottom crust. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Place the loaf on the prepared baking sheet. Insert pats of cold butter into the slits throughout the loaf, distributing them evenly. (5 minutes)

04

Step

In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded Cheddar, Gouda, rosemary, sage, garlic, and pomegranate seeds. Season generously with cracked black pepper. Toss to combine. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Stuff the cheese mixture into the slits in the bread, ensuring that each crevice is filled. Use your fingers to gently push the mixture in. (10 minutes)

06

Step

Place the loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is golden brown. (25 minutes)

07

Step

For an extra-toasted top, transfer the loaf to the broiler for about 1 minute, watching carefully to prevent burning. (1 minute)

08

Step

Remove from the oven and let the bread rest for 5-7 minutes before serving. This allows the cheese to set slightly and makes it easier to pull apart. (7 minutes)
