To Make Cheesy Garlic Bread

  • Take out of refrigerator and sprinkle with Salad Supreme (optional). Broil bread in oven on high for 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread starts to brown.

  • Cut each bread half into 8 slices. Serve hot right out of the oven.

Notes

  • Use softened butter, not melted butter. This keeps the spread thick and creamy.
  • Finely shred the cheese and chop the green onions so they mix evenly throughout the spread.
  • If making ahead, let the spread sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before spreading.
  • Watch the bread closely while broiling. The cheese can brown very quickly once it starts to bubble.
