Spring onion and cheddar stuffed bread
A South African goodie, especially for a braai: a ciabatta sliced almost through and stuffed between every slice with matured cheddar, cream cheese and mayonnaise, then baked until the cheese is melted and the bread is lightly golden and crisped in places.
A far better option than just old plain garlic bread. Serve the bread warm with extra spring onion slices sprinkled over.

Bake in the preheated oven, 20–30 minutes, until the cheese is melted, and the bread is lightly golden and crisped in places.
