Step 3: Prepare the Bread

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Slice the baguette in half lengthwise.
3. Optional: Spread softened butter mixed with garlic powder on the cut sides.
4. Toast in the oven for 5 minutes until lightly crisp.

Pre-toasting prevents the bread from becoming soggy once the filling is added.

Step 4: Assemble the Cheesy Bread

1. Spread the steak mixture evenly over both halves of the bread.
2. Layer provolone slices over the meat.
3. Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar on top.

Be generous with the cheese — this recipe is meant to be indulgent!

Step 5: Bake

1. Place the assembled bread on a baking sheet.
2. Bake for 10–15 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
3. Broil for 1–2 minutes at the end for a golden, slightly crispy top.

Watch carefully during broiling to avoid burning.
