The crawfish meat is mixed with sautéed onions, bell peppers, and celery, along with with melted cheese and Cajun or Creole spices, like cayenne pepper and paprika. Stuff it all into a hollowed-out bread loaf, then bake until the bread is crispy and the filling is hot and bubbly.

Prep the French Bread. Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise. Scoop out some of the bread to make room for the filling, if desired. I like to make extra room for all the decadent stuffing. Set them onto a baking sheet.

Cook the Vegetables. Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and bell pepper. Cook for 5 minutes to soften. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. This is your flavor base.

Mix the Stuffing. Transfer the pan ingredients to a mixing bowl. Stir in the mayo, mustard, and shredded cheeses. Mix until well combined.

Final Toast. Increase oven heat to “broil” then broil the crawfish bread until the bread is toasty and the topping is browned and bubbly.

They are rooted in our culture and the events that celebrate our joy of life. Football season takes the place of fall. Each new year begins with Carnival season. And of course, there’s crawfish season.

When the mudbugs start swimming around in Louisiana’s swamps and fields, people get a little excited in anticipation of the bounty their taste buds are about to receive. A new season means fresh crawfish bisques and étouffées. It means a return of crawfish dishes to a lot of local restaurants. And it means that the sound of a big burner igniting for a backyard boil will nearly bring a tear to my eye.

It isn’t rare for someone to buy an extra sack of the bright red crustaceans in an effort to make sure there are plenty for their guests. So when the frenzied feasters are done peeling for themselves, leftover tails often wind up in the fridge and saved for another day.
