Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.

  2. 2

    Melt the 4 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat, then sauté the chopped onion and bell pepper for about 5 minutes until soft, adding the minced garlic for the last 30 seconds.

  3. 3

    Stir in the crawfish tail meat and 1 tsp Cajun seasoning and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until heated through, then remove from the heat to cool slightly.

  4. 4

    In a bowl, combine the crawfish mixture with the 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 cup of the shredded cheese, and the sliced green onions, stirring into a thick, cohesive filling.

  5. 5

    Spread the filling evenly over the cut sides of the French bread halves and top with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese.

  6. 6

    Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the bread edges are crisp and golden, then slice crosswise into portions and serve warm.
