The Splendid Table's How To Eat Supper by Lynne Rossetto Kasper and Sally Swift Ingredients:
3 tbs olive oil |
3 tbs unsalted butter |
1/4 cup water |
5 large garlic cloves, minced |
1 generous tsp dried basil |
1 generous tsp dried oregano |
1/4 tsp salt, or to taste |
fresh ground black pepper |
1 large crusty baguette |
1 tight-packed cup shredded asiago or parmigiano-reggiano cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a small saucepan, combine all the ingredients except the bread and cheese, and set over medium-low heat. When the butter melts, cover the pan and cook for 10 minutes to soften the garlic. Take care not to brown it. Once the garlic is soft, uncover the pan and simmer until you hear the mixture sizzle. Pull pan off the heat.
2. Split the bread horizontally. Spread with garlic mixture. Sprinkle each half with cheese. Bake for 15 minutes, or until cheese bubbles. Serve.
