How do you make your garlic bread, Rich?

[qhsdoitall]

I keep it simple.

Cut a French or Italian Loaf in half lengthwise.

5 cloves crushed garlic
1 stick unsalted butter
1/2 tablespoon water.
1 1/2 cups blend of Asiago, Provolone, Parmesan & Mozzarella cheeses or Italian cheese blend of choice.
1/4 cup chopped parsley (Optional)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Put 1 tablespoon of butter and the water in non stick pan with garlic at medium heat and saute until garlic is golden. Add rest of butter and reduce heat until melted. Spoon onto bread and spread around. Put bread together and seal in foil.

Bake in oven for 15 minutes.

Take out and unwrap. Separate halves and cover with cheese. You can put some fresh chopped parsley on first before cheese if you want. Put on cookie sheet and broil for 1-2 minutes until cheese it melted and just browning. Watch it. The cheese can burn quick.

And remember "don't put too many onions in the sauce Vinny".

[TraderJoe]

:drool Sounds good, Bud. That greek seasoning is one I'm not familiar with....will have to check that out.

I like my gravy HOT, so I will add some crushed red pepper at the beginning too. :D

Its pretty good but I bet a fav Season All will work too.

[TraderJoe]

[Mottern Man]

Oh, I forgot 1 clove of Garlic (rub the pan with it and toss it in) or bring it to a sweat with olive oil and put the sauce in. :D

[TraderJoe]

or bring it to a sweat with olive oil and put the sauce in. :D

yes, garlic......but of course. this is usually the point where I (actually, I don't cook very often, my GF does it all) will add the crushed red pepper too, allowing the oil to get infused with flavors of the garlic and the pepper :drool

[Mottern Man]

(actually, I don't cook very often, my GF does it all)
