I had a medical procedure this week that's required me to do clear
liquids for a couple days. Driving me crazy as I like to eat. Funny
thing is, when you can't eat, you *think* about eating a lot more.

Long story short, I had a dream last night where I was eating with a
friend. I ordered some sort of roast beef sandwich, but the restaurant
served up a feast. One of the items was a loaf of french style bread,
and when you broke it apart, it was filled with melted cheese! I wanted
cheese on the sandwich, so I poured some on the sandwich and then ate
the cheese soaked bread on the side.

I've seen cheese filled crust on pizzas, and of course bread topped with
melted cheese, but I've never seen something similar to what I dreamt
about.

Did I "invent" some savory new dish, or does this already exist?

I've seen bread with cheese baked in it in several bakeries in San Diego --
notably Bread & Cie and Dudleys. It generally doesn't come warm, but it's
great for toasting, even though the cheese doesn't re-melt when it's
toasted.

I once made regular white bread and chopped up tiny pieces of ham and
chedder cheese. Was pretty good. Not quite what you described.

I once had a ham and cheese croissant (the ham and cheese was baked
inside, not added later). It was pretty good. Got it at the bakery in
Sonoma.

I make a cheddar loaf of ordinary French bread, wrapping up the cheddar
in the middle of the loaf. I also on my own decided to sprinkle oregano
and garlic granules on the cheese before folding it into the bread.
Then a bit more garlic on the top of the loaf and bake.

When sliced i then butter it and place it on a plate in the microwave
for 30 seconds or so just enough to get the cheese warm and soft.

A local bakery makes this but i do not care to pay their prices for
something i can make myself, i have also had a feta stuffed bread with
caraway seeds that is very good.

I make stuffed breads as well, such as stromboli or, say, broccoli and
ricotta, pepperoni and provolone, anything like that. They do charge an
arm and a leg for them in bakeries. I seriously like the idea of sprinkling
with garlic, that's got to be good. Anything in the spice cabinet,
probably.
Very handy for tailgating, just have to keep it warm on the way to the
game.

You can do that, but not with normal cheese.
It must be a specially processed cheese made
to melt in the most luscious way possible,
only available today from Kraft under the
V brand. Hope this helps! :-)

I've long made an appetizer of baked cheese. Take a round of cheese (I
like smoked Gouda) and a roll of refrigerator crescent rolls. Smash the
dough around the cheese to completely encase it and bake it in the oven
(at about 25 degrees less than the package directions for the rolls)
until the bread is a dark golden brown. I usually serve it with mustard.

MY favorite market here has something they call "cheese rolls" they're
about 6" long, oval shaped, and when you slice them open there's a
solid layer of cheese in the middle.

I like to take thin sliced ham and pile it on the roll, then nuke it
for about 30 seconds or so, and the ham comes out nice and warm and
the cheese is melted! Instant ham and cheese sandwich!

It's a local market, don't know if anyone else makes rolls like these.
