When the budget is tight, we tend to have pasta dishes more often. Fortunately, I have children who enjoy a plate of spaghetti. In order to bring some variety to the table during those times, Cheese Bread is a welcome treat and upgrades a simple pasta dinner.
Cheese Bread
3/4 cup butter
5 cloves peeled and chopped garlic
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch chili flakes
1/2 cup grated Romano or Parmesan cheese
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
Your choice of bread - slices of sourdough, hamburger buns, long French Bread loaves, etc.
Saute the garlic cloves in a teaspoon of oil until softened but not browned. Soften the butter in a large bowl and add all the ingredient except for the bread. Mix together well.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange your bread, cut side up. Spread generously with your cheese mixture. Bake in a 375 degree oven until the cheese topping is brown and the cheese is bubbling a bit. Serve!
You will be glad you used the parchment paper if the cheese melts down the sides of the bread because you get some nice, crispy pieces to keep you going while you put dinner on the table!
