Melty Cheese Topping For Bread Recipes

Soft, pillowy bread stuffed with melty mozzarella and dipped in a marinara sauce makes for an easy, crowd-pleasing appetizer or side dish. Here, store-bought sauce is doctored up with a few pantry staples, including dried oregano, garlic and red-pepper flakes, but you can use homemade sauce, too. Slice the bread or let everyone tear off pieces, like they would a fresh baguette, for a more spontaneous, cheese-pull moment. To round out the spread with something green, roast broccolini, broccoli or kale on a sheet pan in the oven as the bread cooks, then dip alongside. For a crunchier exterior, unwrap the bread and cook uncovered for the last 5 minutes.

Cheese spread on french bread. Gets nice and bubbly in the oven. Kinda tastes like pizza, goes great with beer. I loved making this with my mom as a child. -Your kids (and men) might like it as much as my siblings and I did! We called it "Goop" (I thought the title might drive people away!). My mom got this from a friend back in the 70's- she used to make it for all the guys to eat while they watched football and drank beer. Mix 6 hours ahead of time (but I can never wait that long!), then just spread on bread and pop it in the oven.
