Cheesy Garlic Herb Bread
Cheesy garlic herb bread is just begging to be dipped in sauce or soup and takes just minutes to make!
The Backstory: This tasty cheesy garlic herb bread is so popular and easy to make. Yet most of my friends that love this type of bread never make it at home. It is usually eaten when they are at a restaurant. I find that hard to believe. I have made this bread so many times, that I know I never had a formal recipe. It is just one of the things that you can make up as you go along. I like to serve this with fish or pasta. The variations are endless. I have used many different herbs and instead of butter I have used pareve margarine and have even eliminated the cheese. Just plain garlic bread and some herds–fresh or dried. This way I can make it Kosher to serve with meat or poultry. Experiment with your favorite herbs and seasonings and enjoy. More of the Backstory after the recipe…
