Roasted Garlic Bread Olive And Cheese Skewers Recipes

ROASTED GARLIC CHEESE BREAD

Steps:

• Slice bread.
• Combine all ingredients.
• Using knife or brush, coat one side of bread slices with butter mixture.
• Bake at 350 F for 12 minutes.

CHEESY ROASTED GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut off the top third of the head of garlic, exposing the tops of the garlic cloves. Put the garlic on a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and add the thyme sprigs. Wrap tightly with foil and roast until the cloves are golden brown and very soft, about 45 minutes.
• Unwrap the garlic and let stand until cool enough to handle. Pour any garlic-flavored oil from the foil pouch into a small bowl; squeeze the roasted cloves into the same bowl, discarding the papery shells. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, the chopped thyme and an additional 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and mash with a fork until smooth.
• Lay the bottom half of the bread on a piece of aluminum foil that is long enough to wrap the bread. Spread on half of the roasted garlic mixture and top with half of the Parmesan. Repeat with the remaining bread, garlic mixture and Parmesan. Press the halves together so the fillings are on the inside and wrap with the foil.
• Bake until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Separate the halves, sprinkle with chopped parsley and cut into 6 pieces.

GRILLED CHEESE AND BREAD SKEWERS

Steps:

• Place a grilling rack over the barbecue, about 4 to 6 inches from the heat.
• Put the 2 tablespoons of oil from the sun dried tomatoes in a large bowl.
• Pat the tomato halves dry with a paper towel and cut into quarters, set aside.
• Stir the olive oil, garlic and salt into the tomato oil.
• Toss the bread cubes into the oil mixture until they are well-coated.
• Thread bread, cheese and tomato quarters, alternately on skewers.
• Grill over coals for about 5 minutes or just until the cheese begins to melt and the bread is toasted.
• Serve immediately.

ROASTED GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Slice the tops off of garlic heads so the tip of each clove is exposed. Place garlic on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake until garlic is soft, about 30 minutes.
• Set the oven to broil. Slice the loaf of bread in half horizontally, and place cut-side up on a baking sheet.
• Squeeze the cloves of garlic from their skins into a medium bowl. Stir in the butter, parsley, and Parmesan cheese until well blended. Spread onto the cut sides of the bread.
• Broil bread until toasted, about 5 minutes.
