GARLIC BREAD WITH CHEESE

Steps:

• Put butter in a bowl and add garlic.
• Mix well.
• Add more garlic if you wish.
• Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
• Mixture should be thick and chunky.
• If you like the taste of any of the ingredients, like parmesan, feel free to add more of it as desired.
• Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes or more to absorb flavors.
• Cut French loaf into slices.
• For these measurements, it covers about 6 or 7 slices.
• Spread garlic butter mix generously on each slice.
• Put slices on cookie sheet or cooking stone (I use the latter as it cooks more evenly).
• Preheat broiler and place oven rack in middle of oven.
• I use the low broiler setting (my oven has choice of high/low).
• Broil 5 minutes, keeping an eye on the bread as each oven is different.
• Bread should be toasted around the crust and the garlic butter mixture bubbly with cheese melted.
• I have never tried it, but I'm sure you can slice the loaf in half, spread the mixture, broil and slice after.
• If your broiler is too hot, to prevent the bread from burning, cover loosely with foil for 5 minutes, remove foil and broil an additional 2 or 3 minutes so the butter mix has time to cook while not burning the bread.
• Keep an eye on them as they broil to prevent burning.
• Serve with pasta and enjoy!
