Original Recipe Found in Taste of Home's 2006 Quick Cooking Annual Recipes
I rely on frozen, not-homemade garlic bread way too often, but we all love it...a hard, lazy habit to break. So I was in the market for some new variations on a favorite side. This was an easy way to dress up plain bread and more special than just tossing some shredded mozzarella on the frozen loaf.
I thought that there wasn't enough topping for an entire loaf of Italian bread, so I only used half of one. This was a mistake, as the topping couldn't melt enough and the bread didn't get as crispy as I'd have liked.
Ingredients
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 can (4 oz) mushroom pieces, drained or 1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced thin
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
2 Tablespoons chopped green onion
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning [optional]
1 loaf (1 pound) unsliced French or Italian bread
Directions
(1) Slice loaf in half length-wise. Toast or broil until just crisped (not browned).
(2) In bowl, combine mozzarella, mushrooms, mayonnaise, parmesan, and onion. Spread mixture over bread.
(3) Broil 5-10 minutes or until lightly browned and cheese is melted.
Notes: I used Italian bread this time, so I'll try French the next. I'll also add some garlic powder to the cheese mixture.
Kid Participation:
* Mix topping ingredients together
* Spread cheese mixture over bread (if cooled)
