Ingredients

  • 2 Cups Cooked Crawfish Tails
  • French Bread 1-2 Loaves
  • 1 Cup Mayonnaise
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter unsalted
  • ½ Yellow Bell Pepper diced
  • ½ Red Bell Pepper diced
  • 1 Stalk Celery diced
  • 1 Small Sweet Onion diced
  • ½ Teaspoon Thyme dried
  • 2 Teaspoons Creole Seasoning
  • 3 Cloves Garlic Minced
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese
  • 1 Teaspoon Ground Mustard
  • 3 Green Onions chopped
  • 12 oz Mozzarella Cheese grated
  • 12 oz Cheddar Cheese grated
  • ¾ Cup Parmesan Cheese grated
  • Parsley optional garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • If you are using Crawfish Boil leftovers, go ahead and peel all those crawfish (keep the tails) - and set aside.
  • Slice French Bread in half, lengthways.
  • Spread Mayonnaise over each half, evenly. Set to the side.
  • Add butter to a large (12") skillet (or pot like I did) and turn heat to medium.
  • Once the butter has melted add the chopped onions, bell peppers, celery, Thyme and Creole Seasoning. Cook until translucent (about 5 minutes) then add the garlic. Cook a further 2 minutes.
  • Add crawfish tails and continue to cook, until the juices from the crawfish evaporates (about 3 minutes).
  • Stir in the cream cheese, mustard and green onions.
  • Once everything has melted/combined turn off the heat.
  • Spread this crawfish mixture evenly over the French Bread halves.
  • Sprinkle evenly the Mozzarella cheese and Cheddar cheese.
  • Finish with the Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
  • Finish under the broiler for about 2 minutes to get the color to the cheese.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle with parsley, to garnish.

Notes

For best results I like to use the leftover crawfish from a crawfish boil. They are deliciously seasoned and add great flavor to the crawfish bread. (You can buy frozen crawfish tails from Walmart though)
