This is the best garlic bread I've ever had - I'm definitely not going to use garlic powder anymore. It takes a bit of extra work, but it is worth it. So yummy!
Cheesy Garlic Bread
5-6 garlic cloves, finely minced
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon water
1/4 teaspoon salt, heaping
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 18-20-inch baguette or loaf of french bread, sliced in half horizontally
3/4 cup shredded cheese (a blend of Parmesan and mozzarella)
Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 400.
In a small nonstick skillet, cook the garlic, 1 tablespoon of the butter and water over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is straw colored, 7-10 minutes. It is important to keep the heat low or the garlic will burn and turn bitter. The garlic should be lightly browned but not burned!
In a small bowl, place the remaining 7 tablespoons softened butter and the salt and pepper. Mix in the hot garlic mixture with an electric hand mixer. Using a rubber spatula, spread the butter mixture on the cut sides of bread. Sandwich the bread back together and wrap the loaf in foil. Place the wrapped loaf on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove from the heat and turn the oven to the broil setting.
Sprinkle the bread with the shredded cheese. Broil until cheese has melted and bread is crisp, 1-2 minutes. Cut into angled pieces and serve.
I got this from mel's kitchen cafe (I think).
