Two Kinds Of Garlic Cheesy Bread With Garlic Bread Seasoning

Step 1

Place the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, parsley flakes, kosher salt, and dried Italian seasoning in a medium size bowl and whisk to combine.

Step 2

Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 months.

Step 3

Mix 3 Tablespoons garlic seasoning and 1 stick (8 Tablespoons) softened unsalted butter together.

Step 4

Cut the French or Italian bread in half lengthwise and evenly spread the cut sides with the garlic butter.

Step 5

Place the bread butter-side up on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake at 350℉until the bread is toasted and warmed through, about 25 minutes. For a crispier garlic bread, broil on low until golden brown, about 1 minute more. Slice crosswise and serve.

Step 7

Preheat oven to 350℉.

Step 8

Cream together 3 Tablespoons garlic bread seasoning with 1 stick (8 Tablespoons) softened butter.

Step 9

Cut the bread in diagonal slices - in one direction only. Butter the bread on all sides of the slices. This is generously buttering both walls within the cracks.

Step 10

When you've buttered the bread on each side of the slice, cut the bread to make diamonds. As you cut through the bread, the knife will spread the butter into the new crevices you made.

Step 11

Use you fingers to knife to pry open each crack and stuff a pinch of cheese in there.

Step 12

Brush the bread's surface with the remaining butter.

Step 13

Wrap the bread with foil and bake for 20 minutes until the cheese has mostly melted. Unwrap and fake for 5-10 minutes more to make the bread golden and crusty.
