STUFFED GARLIC BREAD
This is my favorite way to make garlic bread. It doesn't take any extra time and it looks really impressive on the table. This recipe is for garlic bread, but use it as a jumping off point to fill with any combination of cheese, onion... anything that you like! I have made one stuffed with provolone, asiago and pepperoni slices...

Steps:
- Preheat the grill. In a bowl, mix the meat. Form 4 (3-ounce patties) by using a scoop. Push them down and make little indentations in the middle to hold the flavors. Place a teaspoon of garlic paste in the middle of each patty and add a little chunk of blue cheese tucked right on top of the garlic paste. Add a good twist of black pepper. Take another 3 ounce scoop of meat, make it flat in your hand and place right on top of the other half.
- Take your fingers and just seal the 2 patties up and refrigerate until you are ready to grill.
- Meanwhile: Split the pieces of bread, and pull out some of the soft center to make a hole for the burger. Place the bread face down on the grill to toast.
- Place the burger in the bread, and top with your favorite condiments.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Heat an ovenproof saucepan on the stovetop. When it's hot, add the extra-virgin olive oil. Next, add the cloves and season with salt and pepper. Let the cloves begin to caramelize, then put the pan in the preheated oven.
- Roast cloves in the oven for about 30 minutes or until they are nicely browned. (Starting the garlic on the stove will save at least 20 minutes of roasting time). Let cool.
- When cool enough to handle easily, put the roasted garlic into a small bowl, mash with a fork and add oil from the pan until a paste forms. Store, tightly covered, in the refrigerator, for up to 1 week.
CHEESY PULL-APART GARLIC BREAD
Studded with melty cheese and herbs, this garlic bread couldn't be easier! I like to buy a crusty round loaf of bread right from the bakery section of my grocery store. Be careful not to cut all the way through the loaf-you don't want the cheese to ooze out the bottom and stick to the pan.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Score the bread with 2-inch-deep cuts with a serrated knife into a 1-inch diamond pattern without slicing all the way through. Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the parsley, onion powder, salt and garlic. Brush the butter mixture all over the bread and into the cut diamonds using a pastry brush. Insert the cheese cubes in the crevices of the bread.
- Cover the bread with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, 8 to 10 more minutes. Sprinkle with more fresh parsley. Serve hot!
BLUE CHEESE GARLIC BREAD
Saw this in a Holiday cookbook and just had to jot it down. I love blue cheese and garlic so I knew it would be a winning combination. I use my Whole Wheat French Bread Recipe #102132 for the bread. When I don't have chives available, I use 1/4 tsp. onion powder. Excellent with spaghetti!

BLUE CHEESE STUFFED MUSHROOMS
I usually use reduced fat cream cheese, and reduced fat blue cheese to keep the calories and fat down. Also for a quick fix you can use chive and onion variety cream cheese. ( They also make light.)

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients, especially the blue cheese. A good blue cheese will have a sharp, pungent flavor that will stand up to the other ingredients in the bread.
- Don't overstuff the bread. Too much filling will make the bread difficult to eat and will cause it to fall apart.
- Bake the bread until it is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will ensure that the bread is cooked through and that the cheese is gooey and delicious.
- Serve the bread warm. This is when it will be at its best, with a crispy crust and a soft, fluffy interior.

Blue cheese stuffed garlic bread is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. It is perfect for parties or potlucks, and it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a new way to enjoy blue cheese, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
