The other day, I was at Safeway, strolling down the aisles, when I saw those pre-made garlic breads in the bakery section. You know those ones lathered in cheap margarine and garlic that would make your breath smell for days.
I used to love those things. They used to be my dirty little secret. But recently, I have lost my taste for them. I can’t stand them now. If I were offered one for free, I would smile and say “no thanks”.
So as I was eying this hunk of bread, an employee walks by and tells me “oh wow, you have got to try our garlic bread, it is just fantastic. I could eat a whole thing in one sitting.”
The whole time this guy was talking to me, my upper lip was lifting up in revulsion. I had no control over it, it just kept moving up! I’m hoping he didn’t notice, but since I was so rude, I decided to make some garlic bread of my own. And I liked every bit of it.
What you’ll need:
-1 loaf french bread, cut horizontaly
-1/3 cup butter, softened
-5 cloves garlic, minced
-3/4 cup parmesan cheese
-3/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
-2 tablespoons italian seasoning
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400˚F.
2. In a small bowl, combine the butter and garlic. Spread evenly on bread.
3. Sprinkle the top of the bread with both cheeses and the italian seasoning.
4. Broil for 5 minutes, or until the cheese has completely melted.
I love garlic bread! (Well, I really wonder who doesn't?) This looks terrific!
my husband loves this 🙂 will surely try it..
I love garlic bread and I love cheese so this is wonderful for me!
This garlic bread looks great! I would love to have it with a bowl of creamy soup!
I am always so much happier with the foods like this that I make myself. I have a long list of those I used to buy all the time, and now I can't even think of eating the packaged version. This looks great!
Oh my word! This looks so delicious! The only thing that can make garlic bread even better is cheese.
Thank for sharing dear!!

I have seen those in the store and thought they might be nice to try, but I guess not. Your version looks awesome 🙂
Homemade garlic bread is the best. It's been ages since I've made some – maybe time to do so again? The frozen Pepperidge Farm garlic bread is actually OK. That's my dirty little secret – whenever I want some and don't feel like making it, that's what I use!
That garlic bread looks sinful! Yum!
Mmmmm if anything can make garlic bread better it Ida healthy dose of cheese 🙂
Love it!
Cheers

Cathleen , I'm guilty …before ! lol Your garlic bread looks really delicious ! Love the generous cheese toppings …. will make this with my leftover bread ! 😀
Simple and perfect!
LOL! I was totally the same way with grocery store bread, I used to love it and could it half of a whole thing in one sitting… but after I learned to treat myself better, I never once looked at it again. I like what you did here… this looks perfect with some spaghetti!
I like garlic bread.. great snack and also very good with beer.. :))))
