This is one of my "go-to" appetizers! It's easy and flavorful and says "Welcome to the South"! If you aren't a crawfish fan, substitute shrimp (peeled and deveined) for the crawfish. Or, if you're feeling it... substitute crabmeat. This bread will disappear from the table!

How To Make crawfish bread

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large saute pan (or skillet), melt the butter over medium heat. Add onion, green pepper, and celery. Saute for 5 minutes or until softened. Add garlic and cook a few minutes more.
  • 2
    Add crawfish tails, tomatoes, and seasoning. Cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Allow to cool for 5 – 10 minutes.
  • 3
    In a large bowl, mix mayonnaise, Monterey Jack cheese, Parmesan cheese, and scallions. Stir in cooled crawfish and mix.
  • 4
    Cut the bread in half and then cut the bread lengthwise (making 4 pieces). Spoon the mixture evenly on the four pieces. Place in oven for 15 minutes. Turn oven to broil and broil for 3 – 5 minutes or until tops are lightly brown. Watch closely so they don’t burn!
  • 5
    Cut bread into slices and serve.
