Penn Station Cheese bread @ home

I am not much of a cook, in fact I attempted to make cookies last night and they were a complete failure. It is fairly accurate to say that the only things I consistently make successfully in the kitchen are messes. I have, however, mastered the art of making Cheese bread that is similar in almost every way to that of Penn Station.

You will need:

1 loaf Kroger Take & Bake french bread
Oregano (use as much or as little as you like)
Parmesian Romano cheese (we use Locatelli Romano, but it is expensive and hard to find)
Any brand provolone cheese

Step 1
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Place entire loaf directly onto oven rack. Bake until you can flick the bottom of the load and it sounds hollow.

Step 2
Allow bread to cool on cooling rack. Then, put bread onto baking sheet. I cover mine in foil so I don't have to clean up a cheesy mess.


Step 3
Place provolone on top center cut bread. Make sure that you get a lot of cheese coverage otherwise the uncovered parts will burn. Crush up oregano between fingers and sprinkle on top of provolone cheese. Grate as little or as much Romano cheese as you like on top (I use lots).
Place in oven that is still at 400 degrees. Let bake about 7 minutes. Check on it periodically.

Note: you can do this will all kinds of toppings, for instance Michael had fried some jalepenos, skillet steak, and mushrooms and did the same sort of thing with swiss cheese. He did not put any Romano or Oregano on his sandwich.
