CHEESY GARLIC BREAD

A simple snack with the regular bread slices. When you are going for a meal with Italian pasta or noodles you will want to have a good appetizer which is also Italian. This simple cheesy garlic bread can be the best appetizer in your menu. Here I used the regular white sandwich bread. You can also choose any plain Italian bread. Give it a try.

• Bread slices                     3-5
• Olive oil                           3 Tsp.
• Salt                                  a pinch
• Red chilly flakes            1 Tsp.
• Any fresh herbs             1 Tsp.(chopped parsley or dill or oregano or basil or mint or thyme)
• Grated cheese                1/4 cup

PROCEDURE
In a bowl add the olive oil, salt, red chilly flakes, finely chopped fresh herbs. Mix well.
Cut the bread into desired shape.
Coat all of the pieces with the olive oil mixture on both the sides.
Pre heat the oven to 350 degrees and bake the bread for about 10 to 12 minutes. Flip the bread other side after 5 minutes. 
Now remove the bread from the oven and sprinkle cheese on all of the slices and again bake them till the cheese melts and starts to become golden brown.
Remove and serve hot with any pasta.   

HOMEMADE GARLIC BREAD WITH BREAD SLICES

Garlic bread……… the very name itself is tantalizing. Baked bread with lots and lots of butter and garlic is awesome. For those who cannot give up the taste because of the calories I give this recipe. Home made with the regular bread, the recipe is less is calories but is very tasty. Give it a quick try. Enjoy it often.
INGREDIENTS

• Bread slices                        6-8
• Garlic paste/powder       2 tsp.
• Butter                                 2 tsp.
• Salt                                      a pinch
• Coriander                          2 sprigs, finely chopped

PROCEDURE
Take the room temperature butter and add the garlic paste, salt, coriander.
Mix well. If the mixture is too thick add a couple of spoons of olive oil.
Now brush the mixture on the bread slices.
Pre heat the oven to 300 degrees.
Bake the bread for 10 minutes. Bread burns very quickly, so make sure to check it every 2 minutes.
When the bread turns golden brown and crisp on the edges, remove from the oven and serve hot.
