Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 1 loaf French Bread
Cheese Mixture
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1/3 cup low-fat Mayonnaise
- 4 green onions, chopped
Garlic Butter
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread: Cut the French bread in half lengthwise, creating two equal pieces. Position the bread halves cut side up on a large baking sheet to prepare for topping.
- Mix Cheese and Add-ins: In a medium bowl, combine shredded cheddar, mozzarella, parmesan cheeses with the low-fat mayonnaise and chopped green onions. Stir until thoroughly mixed and set aside.
- Make Garlic Butter and Spread: In a small bowl, mix softened butter with minced garlic. Evenly spread this garlic butter mixture over the entire surface of both bread halves.
- Top with Cheese Mixture: Evenly spread the prepared cheese mixture over both buttered bread halves, ensuring a generous, uniform layer for optimal melt and flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly with slight golden spots.
- Serve: Carefully remove the bread from the oven and allow it to stand for a few minutes to set. Slice into desired portions and serve warm, enjoying the hearty, cheesy garlic flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor impact.
- Low-fat mayonnaise adds creaminess without overpowering the cheese.
- Make sure the butter is softened to spread evenly.
- You can substitute Italian herbs or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
- To keep crispy longer, serve immediately after baking.
