CRAWFISH BREAD BITES

Crawfish Bread Bites

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 Roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/2 (16-ounce) package crawfish tails
2 cups shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 loaf French bread, halved lengthwise


Preheat oven to 350°.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, and cook until translucent, 4 to 6 minutes. Add bell pepper, and cook until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat, and transfer to a large bowl.
To the same bowl, add tomatoes, crawfish, cheeses, salt, and pepper; combine well. Divide onion mixture between French bread halves. Bake in oven on a rimmed baking sheet until cheese is melted, 8 to 10 minutes. Slice into portions, and serve warm.
