Time 1h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 head garlic
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 sprigs fresh thyme plus 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped leaves
1/2 large baguette (about a 12-inch piece), split lengthwise
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut off the top third of the head of garlic, exposing the tops of the garlic cloves. Put the garlic on a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and add the thyme sprigs. Wrap tightly with foil and roast until the cloves are golden brown and very soft, about 45 minutes.
  • Unwrap the garlic and let stand until cool enough to handle. Pour any garlic-flavored oil from the foil pouch into a small bowl; squeeze the roasted cloves into the same bowl, discarding the papery shells. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, the chopped thyme and an additional 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and mash with a fork until smooth.
  • Lay the bottom half of the bread on a piece of aluminum foil that is long enough to wrap the bread. Spread on half of the roasted garlic mixture and top with half of the Parmesan. Repeat with the remaining bread, garlic mixture and Parmesan. Press the halves together so the fillings are on the inside and wrap with the foil.
  • Bake until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Separate the halves, sprinkle with chopped parsley and cut into 6 pieces.

CHEESY GARLIC BREAD

I love watching America's Test Kitchen and when I saw this recipe being made I knew I would have to post this right away. Garlic, butter, cheese and bread...what's not to love?

Provided by CindiJ

Categories     Breads

Time 37m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 garlic cloves, grated
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (1 stick)
1/2 teaspoon water
1/4 teaspoon table salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 baguette, sliced in half horizontally (18- to 20-inch)
1 1/2 cups cheese (shredded Italian blend)

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 400 degrees. Cook garlic, 1 tablespoon butter, and water in small nonstick skillet over low heat, stirring occasionally, until straw colored, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Mix hot garlic, remaining butter, salt, and pepper in bowl and spread on cut sides of bread. Sandwich bread back together and wrap loaf in foil. Place on baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Carefully unwrap bread and place halves, buttered sides up, on baking sheet. Bake until just beginning to color, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and set oven to broil.
  • Sprinkle bread with cheese. Broil until cheese has melted and bread is crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer bread to cutting board with cheese side facing down. Cut into pieces.
  • The serrated edges on a bread knife can pull off the cheesy crust. To prevent this, place the finished garlic bread cheese side down on a cutting board. Slicing through the crust (rather than the cheese) first will keep the cheese in place.
  • Serve.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality bread. A sturdy bread like a baguette or sourdough will hold up well to the cheesy garlic spread.
  • Make sure the butter is softened. This will make it easier to mix with the other ingredients.
  • Use a microplane to grate the garlic. This will give you a fine, even grate that will distribute the garlic flavor throughout the spread.
  • Don't be afraid to add more cheese. The more cheese, the better!
  • If you don't have fresh parsley, you can use dried parsley. Just use about half the amount.
  • Serve the cheesy garlic bread immediately. It's best when it's hot and gooey.
