Recipe Schmecipe: Cheesy Herb Garlic Bread


dsc036183

It’s winter and all you want is comfort food and what better way to get that comfort but from this delicious garlic bread. Eat it alongside a piping hot bowl of chicken noodle soup and hopefully you’ll be all set to brave the crowds on Boxing Day.

So, without further ado, here is the recipe:

Cheesy Herb Garlic Bread

1 loaf of french bread or baguette

5-6 garlic cloves

½ cup softened unsalted butter

3-4 tbsp fresh herbs (basil, cilantro or parsley)

¼ tsp salt

¼ tsp pepper

1 cup shredded cheese

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 400.
  • Mince or grate the garlic into a fine paste. Mix the garlic with softened butter, herbs, salt and pepper.
  • Cut the bread lengthwise in half and spread the butter mixture on both sides. Sandwich the bread back together and wrap the loaf in foil. Place the wrapped loaf onto a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and turn the oven to the broil setting.
  • Sprinkle both sides of the bread with the shredded cheese. Broil it for 1-2 minutes until the cheese has melted and bread is crisp.

    If I wasn’t lactose intolerant, I’d try this, but lactose free cheese and margarine is yicky!

    I make this often and it’s delicious. Only difference is I add diced up bacon (or real bacon bits work as well), good quality mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. I make it often along side a pasta dish. Keep in mind you can cut up the loaf into small serving pieces. If I recall correctly I get about 8 pieces per half depending on the loaf size. I often wrap the other half of the baguette up (before I add anything to it) and save it in the fridge for another day. If your serving it along with a dish like pasta all you really need is half for a family of 4.
