Very Cheesy Garlic Bread

I love this with my homemade lasagna or spaghetti. I even have it with steaks sometimes or roasted chicken. If you like garlic bread this is your bread! MAke the spread a day ahead and store in the fridge to save time, just soften before spreading. Try using different cheeses--provolone or cheddar or ack cheese!
