Fabulous, easy bread. Goes great with soup, salad and pasta!
I've made this for almost 15 years! Thank you Craig!
6 pc Sliced bread (White, Wheat, Hoagies, Hamburger buns, etc) *
4 T butter *
2 T Parmesan Cheese * (grated)
Preheat the oven to 400 F to heat your oven. You will later switch to broil, but make sure that the oven is hot before you put the bread in the oven. Lay pieces of bread out on baking sheet. Melt butter in a frying pan. When melted, turn off heat, add the cheese, mix together. Using a rubber spatula, spread the mixture on each piece of bread. Broil on high for 2-3 while watching. When the bread is brown and cheese has browned, remove from the oven. Try not to eat the whole loaf before you serve it for dinner. Beware, its difficult!
*these are estimates--I have never measured using this recipe, but have noticed when I have added too much cheese to the butter, it is difficult to spread and you'll end up having to make more mixture to cover all of the bread. I think that the 4T/2T should be a good ratio, but play with it.
* this is one of the only times I recommend using Parmesan in the can/jar rather than fresh grated. The consistency works better when mixing with the butter. I had to use the fresh grated tonight (in the pic), but still recommend the can as it makes it more consistent and more delicious the whole way through!
* I don't recommend using heavy wheat, multigrain breads. They detract from the 'flavor' of the cheese!
I agree with you about the canned Parmesean cheese. I made this a few months ago and used the shredded fresh and it was a 4 star instead of a 5. Even our girls like this bread.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember us eating much else beside Pasta-Roni with this bread... and stuffed peppers ... oh, and Mexican Chicken--when we lived together!!
ReplyDeleteyes...we did have Pasta-Roni quite a bit didn't we? See how our culinary talents have emerged since then?
