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!

FOUR-CHEESE FRENCH BREAD PIZZA
Each cheese plays a special role in this French bread pizza: A combination of Parmesan and pecorino makes it especially nutty and salty; mozzarella melts evenly and a sharper deli-style provolone bridges the gap between them. Once you learn how to make the classic white sauce (technically a Mornay, which is a béchamel with cheese added), you'll find dozens of ways to use it beyond pizza: Swap in an equal amount of grated Cheddar and toss it with pasta for an easy stovetop mac and cheese, or use Gruyère, slather the sauce over ham on toast, and broil until bubbly and browned. The sauce can be made up to 3 days ahead of time; store tightly covered in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Steps:
- Make the sauce: Heat oven to 450 degrees. Melt the butter in a medium pot over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until starting to turn golden, about 1 minute. Whisk in the milk, a few splashes at a time to start, until evenly incorporated. Bring to a full boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook, whisking occasionally, until slightly thickened and the mixture coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. (It will continue to thicken as it cools.). Remove from heat, and whisk in Parmesan, pecorino, salt and pepper. Let cool.
- Prepare the pizza: Combine olive oil and garlic in a small pot over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the garlic starts to sizzle but doesn't brown, about 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Place the French bread cut side up on a baking sheet. Brush cut sides with garlic oil. Bake until edges are golden, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Toss together the cheeses in a medium bowl. Spread sauce over the two bread halves all the way to the edges and top with cheese.
- Return to the oven and bake until melted, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to broil. Broil until the cheese is bubbly and browned in spots (watch carefully!), 1 to 2 minutes more. Let cool 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve topped with red-pepper flakes and oregano, if you like.

Tips:
- Select high-quality blue cheese: Opt for a blue cheese that has a strong, pungent flavor and a creamy texture. This will ensure that your bread has a bold and distinctive taste.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, or oregano, can add a pop of flavor and freshness to your bread. Chop them finely and sprinkle them over the dough before baking.
- Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough can make it tough and chewy. Mix the ingredients until they are just combined, then stop. The dough should be slightly sticky, but not too wet.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: A warm place will help the dough to rise quickly and evenly. You can place the dough in a warm oven with the light on or in a sunny spot in your kitchen.
- Bake the bread until it is golden brown: The bread should be golden brown on top and have a slightly crispy crust. Keep an eye on it while it is baking to prevent it from overbaking.
Conclusion:
Blue cheese french bread is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. With its creamy, flavorful filling and crispy, herbed crust, it is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So next time you are looking for a quick and tasty snack, give blue cheese french bread a try. You won't be disappointed!
