Grilled Ranch Bread Recipes

BACON RANCH CHEESY BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Put the Monterey Jack, Cheddar, parsley, bacon and onion whites in a bowl and mix well.
• Cut the bread in strips in one direction, being careful not to cut all the way through the loaf. Rotate the bread 90 degrees and cut in the other direction to create small squares across the top of the loaf. Move slowly and use caution. Place the bread on a large sheet of aluminum foil.
• Stuff the cheese mixture in between the rows of squares. Mix the melted butter and ranch dressing, then drizzle over the top. Wrap the loaf in the foil and bake for 25 minutes. Open the foil and continue to bake until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly, another 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the onion greens and serve immediately.

GRILLED BREAD (GARLIC OR PLAIN!)

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (375 to 450 degrees).
• Brush each side of the bread lightly with olive oil. Place the slices on a baking sheet and sprinkle with 1 pinch of salt on top of each. Grill 1 to 2 minutes per side, until crispy and just starting to char on the edges.
• Remove from the heat. If desired, rub each slice with the cut side of the garlic and a bit of butter or additional olive oil (we rubbed on a small pat of butter between all the slices). Add another sprinkle of kosher salt if serving plain as garlic bread, and top with chopped herbs if desired.

GRILLED GARLIC BREAD

• Preheat grill. Combine the garlic and butter in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of bread. Grill butterside down until lightly golden. Turn each slice over, sprinkle with parsley and grill an additional 20 seconds.
