Ingredients
- Holy Trinity Trinity Mix
- Onion
- Bell pepper
- Celery
- ½ bunch green onions chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 lb crawfish fresh or Louisiana frozen
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- ¾ cup pepper jack cheese shredded
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese plus more for topping
- Cajun seasoning to taste
- Granulated garlic to taste
- Butter for sautéing
- Mayo for spreading
- 1 loaf French bread halved lengthwise
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the French bread lengthwise and spread a thin layer of mayo on the cut side of each half.
- In a skillet, melt a small amount of butter over medium heat. Add the Trinity mix (onion, bell pepper, and celery), green onions, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 10 minutes until softened.
- Add the crawfish to the skillet and cook for a few minutes with the vegetable mixture. Then, add the cream cheese, pepper jack cheese, Parmesan cheese, Cajun seasoning, and granulated garlic. Let the mixture come to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Spread the crawfish mixture evenly over the mayo-coated French bread halves. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the bread is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
- Slice and serve warm as an appetizer.
