ingredients
- 4 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
- 14.79 ml olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 118.29 ml mayonnaise, light preferred, not nonfat
- 315.37 ml grated cheddar cheese, lowfat preferred
- 453.59 g French bread (4 to 6, depending on size) or 453.59 g hoagie sandwich bun (4 to 6, depending on size)
directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. If you have a pizza stone, put it in the oven while preheating.
- In a medium-size microwave-safe glass bowl, combine the garlic and olive oil. Cook on full power one minute.
- Stir in the onion. Cook for one minute. They will have softened somewhat but not look browned. Set aside to cool slightly while preparing the bread.
- Sllice the French bread (or rolls) in half lengthwise. Place on pizza stone, or directly on oven rack, cut side up. Bake 4-5 minutes to crisp before topping.
- Meanwhile, stir the mayonnaise and cheddar cheese into the bowl of onions and garlic.
- Remove bread halves from oven. Spread the cheese topping evenly over the cut sides of bread.
- Return the bread to the oven rack or stone, topping side up. Bake 3-5 minutes, until bubbly, melted, and golden brown in spots.
- Serves four for dinner, or eight servings as a side dish.
- For appetizer servings. slice the French bread horizontally and place slices on a baking tray. Skip the baking step before topping. Divide cheese topping evenly over slices; it will be thin.
