Makes 1 large loaf
Ingredients • 3 cups grated Cabot 50% Reduced Fat Cheddar (about 12 ounces) • 2 cups grated Cabot Monterey Jack (about 8 ounces) • 1/4 cup ginger preserves, melted • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon or 2 teaspoons dried tarragon • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten • 1 1/2 pounds frozen bread dough, thawed • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
