Best 5 In A Pinch Garlic Bread Recipes

THE BEST GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in the center of oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter is golden and the garlic is very fragrant, about 3 minutes.
• Slice the bread in half lengthwise. Liberally brush the crust with the garlic butter. Turn the bread cut-side up. Slice each loaf crosswise at 2-inch intervals without cutting all the way through, making "pull-apart" garlic bread. Liberally brush the cut sides of the bread with more garlic butter, spreading any remaining garlic evenly over top. You should use all the garlic butter. Carefully transfer the bread to a rimmed baking sheet.
• Sprinkle the loaves with the Parmesan and a pinch of salt and bake until the edges of the bread are a deep golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Top with the parsley. Serve warm.

SPICY GARLIC BREAD SLOPPY JOES

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and brown, seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain off all but a couple tablespoons of the fat.
• Add the onion, chiles, garlic and tomato paste to the pot. Stir and cook for a minute to combine and cook the tomato paste slightly. Add the stock, ketchup, balsamic glaze, brown sugar, chili powder and mustard. Season with another pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to combine, cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 10 to 12 minutes to deepen the flavor.
• Meanwhile, bake the garlic bread according to the package instructions on a sheet pan lined with foil. Remove from the oven then preheat the broiler.
• Taste the meat mixture and adjust seasoning as needed. Divide the meat mixture over the top of the baked garlic bread. Next, top each with two slices of the provolone. Broil until the cheese has melted and browned, about 2 minutes.
• Garnish with the chopped parsley and serve.

PAN-FRIED GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Brush the inside of a heavy pan with olive oil and place over medium-low heat.
• Cut the loaf in half lengthwise, then again crossways into 3 or 4 inch pieces.
• Rub the cut surfaces with the garlic and brush with oil.
• Arrange as many pieces as will fit in the pan, weighing them down with a bacon press.
• Cook about 5 minutes until underside of bread is browned.
• Turn bread and repeat cooking process for another 5 minutes.
• Repeat until all slices are browned.
• Keep warm in the oven on low heat.

CHEATER'S GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven (or broiler) to 350 degrees.
• Lay out each piece of white bread and cut off crusts (I like to cut off the vertical crusts and leave the horizontal pieces of crust on but it really doesn't matter.).
• Cut each piece of bread in half vertically (longways).
• Set bread aside and discard crusts.
• In a small bowl mix together butter, garlic powder, Italian Seasoning and salt to taste ( if needed).
• Spread butter mixture thinly over one side of each slice of bread.
• Place bread buttered side up on a small baking sheet and place in the broiler.
• Let bread toast for about 3 or 4 minutes or until golden brown (be careful not to burn the bread!).
• Remove from broiler and serve immediately.
