INCREDIBLE GARLIC BREAD

INCREDIBLE GARLIC BREAD


1 (20-oz.) loaf French bread, sliced
1 cup olive oil, divided
1 Tbsp. crushed garlic
½ cup cream cheese, softened
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. chopped fresh garlic
1 pinch salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese


Preheat your oven’s broiler. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil.

Heat 1 tbsp. of the olive oil in skillet over low heat. Add garlic; cook and stir for a few minutes until fragrant.

In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese, garlic, oregano, basil, parsley, salt and pepper. Mix in about half the remaining olive oil until smooth. Spread 1 Tbsp. of this mixture onto each slice of bread, and place them on the foil-lined cookie sheet. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over each slice, the drizzle with remaining olive oil.

Broil for 3-5 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Watch VERY carefully, it will brown fast.

Yield: 12 servings.
