tomorleans

2 cups peeled crawfish tails

1 loaf French bread

½ stick butter

½ cup diced onions

½ cup diced celery

¼ cup diced red bell peppers

1 tbsp. minced garlic

½ tsp. dry mustard

½ cup mayonnaise

⅓ cup mozzarella cheese

⅓ cup cheddar cheese

Slice French bread in half lengthwise and scoop out the inside of the loaf. Set aside.

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Sauté crawfish, onions, celery, bell peppers and garlic 15 minutes. Blend in dry mustard and mayonnaise. Add cheeses and blend until melted.

Spread crawfish mixture inside the bread then put halves back together. Butter the top of the loaf, wrap it in foil and bake on a barbecue pit or in a 350°F oven for 20 to 30 minutes.

Cut bread into slices and serve hot.

add about a teaspoon creole seasoning, a teaspoon liquid crab boil and a bit of cayenne or your favorite fresh hot pepper for a kick. (Someone suggested making them open face and that sounds good too!)
