Cheesy Garlic Crawfish Bread

This recipe is a great way to use up those leftovers from the crawfish boil! (This family favorite mixture even freezes well without the crawfish, so plan ahead)!

• 1 stick butter, sliced, at room temperature
• 1 or 2 heads garlic, reserved from the boil

• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 cup crawfish tails, peeled
• Green onion or herbs, to garnish
• Olive oil, as needed
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. In a food processor pulse garlic, onion room temperature butter until creamy and soft. Pulse in grated Parmesan cheese. If the mixture is too thick, drizzle in some olive oil.
