Double Cheese & Herb Bread

We've been making this for two or three years and it's easy and yummy. The original recipe says to slice the bread into individual slices then put the herbs and cheese on each slice but this time, since we were feeding a lot more people, we just sliced the loaf down the middle, put the stuff on then cooked it and sliced it once it was done - much faster and easier so I think that's how we'll do it from now on. And that's how I'll write the instructions below. If you have fewer people, just cut the recipe in half and you can do individual slices if you want.

Double Cheese & Herb Bread

1 loaf French bread

1 tsp dried basil

1 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1 C shredded Colby or mild cheddar cheese

1 C shredded Havarti cheese

Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Combine basil, oregano and garlic. Spray cut side of each half of the bread loaf with cooking spray (or spread with softened butter). Sprinkle with herb mixture. Top with cheeses.

Cover and grill bread 4-6 inches from medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until bread is toasted and cheese is melted. (You can put a piece of foil under the bread to make it easier to put on and take off the grill and to help keep the bottom from burning. This is especially helpful if you are cooking other things and the cheese is taking longer to melt.)

*You can also broil the bread in the oven until toasted and melted.
