Recipe: Fried Garlic Bread


Fried Garlic Bread

4 slices French Bread, 1 1/2 inch thick
3 teaspoons butter or margarine, softened
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

On each bread slice, spread butter. Sprinkle garlic powder, then Parmesan cheese on top. In large skillet, place bread cheese side down. Fry over medium heat until golden brown. Makes 4 servings.

Recipe can be found on page 211 in  
MY KIND OF COOKING COOKBOOKS.
This is a yummy garlic bread recipe! My husband loves the garlic bread they serve at restaurants. This is my version of that bread. It has a crispy, cheesy, browned top with a soft and chewy bottom.

We have an empty nest at our house. When I cook now, it is usually just for my husband Stan and I. When we are hungry for garlic bread, I only need a couple of slices not the whole loaf. When I buy a loaf of French bread, I slice it and pack it in individual plastic storage bags and freeze. It is hard for the two of us to eat the whole loaf and this way I won't have to throw away food. I hate to throw away food! I have seen the starving children in third world countries. It changes how you view things.

  3. Hey Linda, great site! Paul and I have made our garlic bread with garlic powder and parmesan for many years. It is wonderful and much better than the standard with just butter and garlic salt. Looks like we have similar tastes. But in our house Paul does most of the cooking. I'm the taster.

  4. Being the taster is the best job in the world! If Paul does the cooking, do you do the clean up?

  5. Yes I do! I clean as he cooks. I used to complain until he told me that he would stop cooking unless I stopped complaining. So I stopped complaining and started cleaning. Works for me.
