A flavorful combination of herbs makes this cheese-topped loaf a welcome addition to most any menu. In fact, we couldn't believe how light the buttery slices were when compared to frozen breads found in the grocery store. Test Kitchen Ingredients:
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1/3 cup reduced-fat margarine |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
1 loaf (1 pound) unsliced french bread, halved lengthwise |
3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese |
Directions:
1. In a small nonstick skillet, saute onions and garlic in margarine for 1-2 minutes. Stir in the seasonings. Brush over cut sides of French bread; sprinkle with cheese.
2. Wrap each piece of bread loosely in a large piece of heavy-duty foil; seal edges of foil. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted. Cut each piece into six slices. Serve warm. Yield: 12 servings.
