Garlic Bread with Cheese :-))

Garlic Bread with Cheese !!!

Garlic bread consists of Italian or French bread slices, spread on both sides by garlic butter and heated in the oven. There are many variations, including bread brushed with olive oil and sprinkled with minced garlic and herbs. It can also be grilled. I have tried all 3 options grill, microwave and oven.We used to crave for Pizza Hut and Little Italy’s garlic bread. Aha!! It used to be lip smacking. I knew my hubby’s craving for garlic bread & I make sure I prepare it at least twice a month. :-)
You can serve it with any dip or pasta or with hot coffee.

Tips:· Use French Bread it tastes good :-)
· In my LG microwave I tried 2 slices first by keeping it in medium power for 2 minutes. It turned out good. If you keep more than that the crust becomes very hard. Hence, be prepared to perform few trials until you get a hang of your microwave. :-)
· Try doing with more of olive oil and less butter for those who don't want to use more butter in there cooking it tastes great!!
