Ingredients:

  • 1 standard sourdough , multi-grain or other baguette , about 18 to 24 inches
  • 1 tsp (yes, that much) garlic powder - or two tbsp fresh / prepared crushed garlic
  • 8 oz freshly grated parmesan or romano cheese - the really hard variety grates best...

Directions:

  1. Slice the baguette into 1/4 inch slices, starting about an inch from one end. Try not to cut all the way through the bottom crust, as you will want to have a place for the extra butter to land.
  2. Tear off a 2 foot piece of aluminum foil, and place the sliced baguette on it.
  3. Melt the cube of butter, and mix in the garlic.
  4. With a pastry brush, apply a LIBERAL amount of garlic butter to both sides of each mini-slice. (Now you know why the foil comes in handy....) When done, you should have about a third or less of the butter mixture left. If necessary, repeat this step. Note: Sometimes I can't find my brush, so I just drizzle the butter in between the slices.....sigh....
  5. Sprinkle the freshly grated cheese in between each slice, reserving about 1/4 cup for the top.
  6. Drizzle the remaining butter over the top of the baguette, and top with the extra cheese.
  7. Fold the foil over the baguette to create a nice seal, and bake in a 350 degree oven for about 10 to 15 minutes, until the bread is suitably warmed.
  8. To serve, simply bring the foil wrapped baguette out, place the whole thing on a narrow breadboard or in a basket, and tell your guests to sample....
  9. They will have to tear the slices off the loaf , and that's what makes this simple addition such a treat.
  10. Don't ask for calorie or other nutritional info please, just make sure you know a great cardiologist '-)
