Garlic Cheese Bread

So, this is my garlic cheese bread. I love cheese. I love bread. I love garlic. Pretty much all of this speaks to my soul.

I love the fact that the outside crust is nice and crunchy, but the inside is still soft. It's perfect for a quick dinner idea when you just don't know what else to make.

I love this bread with pretty much everything. You can use it as a side to a pasta dish, or just do what I usually do, which is make a whole meal out of just this.

Please don't judge me.

Now, I usually use mild cheddar cheese and mozzarella, because I like the way that that these two cheeses melt, plus I can usually get them for pretty affordable prices, but you could use whatever soft, melty cheeses you want with these and it'll still taste amazing.

If you choose to make it the whole meal, you can serve it with a variety of sauces to dip it in, such as marinara, garlic butter, or, my favorite, ranch dressing.

Ingredients:

1 loaf of french bread (14 oz)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

3 teaspoons of minced garlic (approximately 3 cloves)

2/3 cup of mild cheddar cheese

2/3 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese

chopped oregano

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease a baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.

Cut your loaf of french bread length-wise and split apart and place on your baking pan. On each side, spread 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Next, sprinkle 1 1/2 teaspoons of minced garlic on each side. Then, take your cheddar and mozzarella cheese and sprinkle 1/3 cup of each on each side of your bread, with the cheddar cheese going down first. (Note: it really doesn't matter which order you do it in. I just like the way that it looks with the cheddar peeking out from under the mozzarella.)

Sprinkle with oregano, and then bake for approximately 12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
