Loaded Garlic Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Combine garlic, butter, and oil in a microwave safe dish or in a small saucepan. Heat garlic and butter and oil in microwave for 1 minute or in a small pot over moderate-low heat for 3 minutes.
• Toast split bread under broiler. Remove bread when it is toasted golden brown in color. Brush bread liberally with garlic oil. Sprinkle with cheese, if using, and parsley. If you added cheese, return to broiler and brown 30 seconds. Cut into chunks and serve.

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.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Coat 2 large baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
• Place bacon on a microwave-safe plate lined with paper towels.
• Cover with another piece of paper towel.
• Microwave on high for 4 minutes or until slightly crisp.
• Drain off fat; set aside.
• When cool enough to handle, cut into thin strips.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
• Add garlic and cook 1-2 minutes or until fragrant; remove from heat.
• Place bread on baking sheets.
• Spoon on butter and garlic.
• Top each with a slice of cheese; sprinkle with bacon.
• Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes, until cheese melts and bacon is crisp.
• Cool slightly before serving.

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in the center of oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter is golden and the garlic is very fragrant, about 3 minutes.
• Slice the bread in half lengthwise. Liberally brush the crust with the garlic butter. Turn the bread cut-side up. Slice each loaf crosswise at 2-inch intervals without cutting all the way through, making "pull-apart" garlic bread. Liberally brush the cut sides of the bread with more garlic butter, spreading any remaining garlic evenly over top. You should use all the garlic butter. Carefully transfer the bread to a rimmed baking sheet.
• Sprinkle the loaves with the Parmesan and a pinch of salt and bake until the edges of the bread are a deep golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Top with the parsley. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Combine the mince, oregano, fennel seeds and some seasoning in a bowl. Take walnut-sized pieces of the mixture and roll into balls. Heat half the oil in a large, shallow ovenproof pan and cook the meatballs until browned all over - don't worry if they're not cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
• Heat the remaining oil in the pan and add the onion. Cook until softened, about 10-12 mins, stirring regularly. Stir in the garlic for another minute, then the tomato purée, chopped tomatoes and sugar.
• Simmer for 10-15 mins, then season to taste. Place the meatballs on top of the sauce, then add the mozzarella, garlic bread and the cheddar on top. Bake for 15-20 mins until golden and crisp.

Steps:

• Slice loaf, LEAVING CRUST INTACT, into slices.
• It is important NOT to slice through the bottom.
• Set aside.
• Mix butter with other ingredients.
• Allow to sit on counter a while, so flavors travel all through the butter.
• Take a length of foil, and place loaf lengthwise on the foil.
• Very gently, spread slices apart, being careful not to break bottom, and spread with butter mixture.
• When all slices are spread, use any leftover butter to spread the top of the loaf.
• Wrap sides of foil up.
• Leave top UNCOVERED.
• Twist ends of foil.
• Bake on tray for about 20-30 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
• This is great with spaghetti or lasagna.
• When baking lasagna, just put it in with the lasagna for the last half hour of baking time.
