Buying day-old bread is much cheaper than buying the fresh stuff. For recipes such as this, it works perfectly. Homemade cheese bread is also much cheaper than pre-packaged bread, and it takes just a little time to prepare. To turn this into garlic cheese bread, spread on garlic butter instead of plain margarine.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. Day-old French bread, halved horizontally
- 2 Tbsp. margarine, at room temperature
- 3/4 C mozzarella cheese, shredded
Directions:
Preheat the oven broiler. Spread the cuts sides of the bread evenly with the margarine. Place the prepared bread on a baking sheet, butter side up. Broil the bread 4 inches from the heat source for 1 minute or until beginning to brown. Remove the pan from the boiler and sprinkle the cheese evenly over the bread. Return to the broiler for 1 minute or until the cheese has melted slightly. Makes 4 servings.
