Baguette With Parmesan And Roasted Garlic Recipes

CRUSTY PARMESAN BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler to low. In a small bowl, mix the butter, mayonnaise and cheese, then season with salt and pepper.
• Cut the baguette in half both crossways and horizontally. Evenly spread cheese mixture on the bread. Place on a baking sheet and broil until golden, about 3 minutes.

BALSAMIC BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• In a bowl, toss together the tomatoes, basil, Parmesan cheese, and garlic. Mix in the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, kosher salt, and pepper. Serve on toasted bread slices.

ROASTED GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Slice the tops off of garlic heads so the tip of each clove is exposed. Place garlic on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake until garlic is soft, about 30 minutes.
• Set the oven to broil. Slice the loaf of bread in half horizontally, and place cut-side up on a baking sheet.
• Squeeze the cloves of garlic from their skins into a medium bowl. Stir in the butter, parsley, and Parmesan cheese until well blended. Spread onto the cut sides of the bread.
• Broil bread until toasted, about 5 minutes.

PARMESAN GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• In a small bowl, mix butter, garlic salt, rosemary, basil, thyme, garlic powder and Parmesan cheese.
• Spread each half of the French bread with equal portions of the butter mixture. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
• Place bread halves, crusts down, on a medium baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are very lightly browned.

BAGUETTE GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Slice baguette's (or French Bread) into 1/2" slices. (Cut on the diagonal).
• Heat olive oil in small skillet or pan. (Don't get smoking hot or it will burn the garlic.).
• Add the finely minced garlic cloves and cook very quickly. Not over 20 or 30 seconds, watching closely so you don't burn. (I strained out the garlic but Ina Garten didn't when she made her garlic bread).
• Brush baguette slices with the olive oil and put on a baking sheet.
• Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
• Bake in oven for 8 - 12 minutes or just until they are lightly browned.
• To freeze: Prepare up to the point of brushing the bread with the garlic oil. Place on a baking sheet, put in freezer and freeze until firm. Remove from freezer, wrap well in plastic wrap and then foil. Label and return to freezer.
• To serve: Unwrap and place on baking sheet. Proceed with directions and bake at 375 degrees for 12 minutes or until hot through.
• NOTE: I used the smaller portions given for my baguettes but you may need more if using a loaf of French Bread.
