Raclette Sourdough Pull-Apart Bread
This summer, I tasted a version of this wonderful bread at a fun party. It was the talk of the party. So, as you are wondering what to make for that special holiday party, why not try this? It goes together quickly, bakes promptly, and you may discover that it is devoured even more quickly! You may just need to double this recipe as you don’t want to run out of this showstopper!
ONWARD:
I choose to make this with Raclette, a famous Swiss melting cheese. But why not use your favorite melting cheese? Say, Gouda, Fontina, Gruyère, Cheddar, Brie, or Pepper Jack? How about a different type of bread like a walnut whole grain bread? In between the slices of cheese sprinkle your favorite chopped dried fruit like dry cranberries, blueberries, cherries, figs, or apricots. Of course, if you go with the fruits, you may want to lose the garlic. Are you seeing the possibilities of making this your very own party show? I promise you, and your guests will not be disappointed!

Tuck the cheese in between the slices in the bread.
Heat the butter and garlic in a small pan until fragrant, about two minutes. Drizzle over the top of the bread. Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the top. Crimp the foil closed — Bake for ten minutes. Pull back the foil and continue baking until all the cheese is melted. (May finish baking just before ready to serve).
Place on a serving platter, sprinkle the black sesame seeds over the top and serve hot.
