Restaurant-Worthy Garlic Bread

A few weeks ago, the grocery store was out of ready-made garlic bread, so I tried this recipe for dinner one night. I’d made this vodka cream sauce pasta, but this bread stole the show! Intensely cheesy, buttery and garlicky, it tastes like it’s from your favorite Italian restaurant. I ate the leftovers the next day with a big green salad, and it was the best simple lunch I’d had in a long time.

Garlic Cheese Bread
By The Pioneer Woman

3-1/2 cups Cheddar Cheese, Grated
3/4 cups Monterey Jack Cheese, Grated
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, Grated
1/2 cup (Real) Mayonnaise
4 whole Green Onions, White And Light Green Parts Minced
1 dash Salt
1 loaf Crusty French Bread
1 stick Butter
4 cloves Garlic, Finely Minced

Mix cheeses with the mayonnaise and the green onions. Add dash of salt to taste and set aside or keep in fridge until you need it.

Cut loaf of bread in half, then each half into half again.
 Working 1/4 loaf at a time, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet and add 1/4 of the minced garlic. Place 1 of the 1/4 loaves face down in the skillet, swirling it to soak up the butter and garlic. Allow bread to toast in the skillet, removing garlic if it starts to get too brown. Repeat with remaining butter, garlic, and bread.

Spread cheese mixture on warm loaves and bake in a 425 degree oven until cheese is hot and bubbly, about 10 minutes. Slice and serve.
