Garlic Cheese Toasts

If you didn't read yesterday's post...I'm still looking for some good book recommendations!

Now, on to today. Little man decided to start talking at 4:49am, then again at 5:45am, at which point I figured my day would be starting. Low and behold, he finally fell back asleep until 7:15am! I guess all he really wanted was a pacificer and his stuffed monkey to cuddle with:) If only that would work on adults.

I'm sharing a simple side dish with you today...what am I kidding, it's not really even a side dish, but it does nicely accompany any pasta dish. Pre-warning, it's NOT healthy, but one slice can't hurt you. I originally got this recipe from my sister-in-law, but had to adapt it a little the other day to what I had on hand.

I recommend, slathering this spread on a nice thick french bread loaf, but as you will see all I had was regular bread and Earthgrains sandwich thins. Turned out pretty good though! (We had company that is why there is so much!)

Garlic Cheese Toasts

1 loaf french bread (pre-cut 3/4 of the way though - makes for easier pulling apart when done)

1/2 c. mayo

1/2 c. unsalted butter, softened

1 c. shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 c. shaved parmesan

1 T. parsley

1 t. garlic salt

Pre-cut the french bread (if using a loaf) or simply use regular bread or buns. Combine all ingredients and slather on bread. Place on baking sheet or foil and place in the oven on broil. Keep you eye on the oven, this can burn easily! Remove from oven once mixture is bubbling and bread has turned golden brown.

Sorry, for the lack of good pictures, but trust me this bread is really good. I did have the husband venture out for a good french loaf at the store but they were all out. The tragedy.

Why is a pasta dish always better with a side of crusty garlic bread?
