Heat oven to 350ºF/175ºC. Using razor blade or sharp knife, make long slash down center of each loaf. Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese down center of each loaf. Bake in 350ºF/175ºC oven for 15 minutes. Brush each loaf with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Bake another 15 to 20 minutes or until golden and loaves sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. Remove to wire rack to cool. Serve slightly warm.
