Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 crusty bread round
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, pressed
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) salted butter

GARLIC BREAD WITH CHEESE



Garlic Bread With Cheese image

This is my own concoction that is quick, easy and very tasty! Serve with Pasta! I don't measure anything and the garlic butter mix should be very thick and chunky. My husband loves it and if we have pasta, he expects me to make this garlic bread. Enjoy!

Provided by Cathy17

Categories     Breads

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

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

Steps:

  • 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!

Tips:

  • Use fresh garlic. Fresh garlic has a more robust flavor than pre-minced or jarred garlic. If you don't have fresh garlic on hand, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder instead.
  • Don't overcook the garlic. Garlic can quickly burn and become bitter. Cook it over low heat until it is fragrant and softened, about 1 minute.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. This recipe calls for a combination of mozzarella, parmesan, and cheddar cheeses. You can also use other types of cheeses, such as Gruyère, Swiss, or Gouda.
  • Don't skimp on the butter. Butter adds flavor and richness to the bread. Use unsalted butter so that you can control the amount of salt in the recipe.
  • Serve the bread warm. Garlic cheese French bread is best served warm out of the oven. You can also reheat it in the oven or microwave if you have leftovers.

Conclusion:

Garlic cheese French bread is a delicious and easy appetizer or snack. It is perfect for parties or potlucks. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make this classic recipe in no time. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack, give garlic cheese French bread a try!
