Garlic Bread With Cheese
photo by anniesnomsblog
- Ready In:
- 20mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 1⁄2 loaf French bread, sliced
- 1⁄4 cup butter, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic (more or less for your taste - we like ours garlicky)
- 1 -2 tablespoon parmesan cheese
- 1⁄4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I use old/sharp)
- 2 sprigs fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon basil
- 1 teaspoon oregano
directions
- Put butter in a bowl and add garlic.
- Mix well.
- Add more garlic if you wish.
- Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
- Mixture should be thick and chunky.
- If you like the taste of any of the ingredients, like parmesan, feel free to add more of it as desired.
- Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes or more to absorb flavors.
- Cut French loaf into slices.
- For these measurements, it covers about 6 or 7 slices.
- Spread garlic butter mix generously on each slice.
- Put slices on cookie sheet or cooking stone (I use the latter as it cooks more evenly).
- Preheat broiler and place oven rack in middle of oven.
- I use the low broiler setting (my oven has choice of high/low).
- Broil 5 minutes, keeping an eye on the bread as each oven is different.
- Bread should be toasted around the crust and the garlic butter mixture bubbly with cheese melted.
- I have never tried it, but I'm sure you can slice the loaf in half, spread the mixture, broil and slice after.
- If your broiler is too hot, to prevent the bread from burning, cover loosely with foil for 5 minutes, remove foil and broil an additional 2 or 3 minutes so the butter mix has time to cook while not burning the bread.
- Keep an eye on them as they broil to prevent burning.
- Serve with pasta and enjoy!
