Cheesy Gar-Lick Bread

Ingredients:

• 8 slices of bread (at least 2 days old)
• 8 tsp Grumpy Gary's Gar-lick dip
• Mozzarella cheese, as much as you desire
• Chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)

Makes: 4 servings

Method:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Start by preheating your oven to 160 degrees Celsius (320 degrees Fahrenheit). This ensures that the bread will crisp up nicely without burning.

2. Prep the Bread:
Spread 1 teaspoon of Grumpy Gary's Gar-lick dip evenly on each slice of bread. The garlicky goodness will infuse into the bread as it bakes, adding layers of flavor.

3. Bake the Bread:
Place the slices of bread on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the bread becomes crunchy. This step prepares the bread for the cheesy goodness to come.

4. Add the Cheese:
Once the bread is crispy, remove it from the oven and layer as much or as little mozzarella cheese as you desire on each slice. The cheese will melt and become wonderfully gooey, creating that irresistible cheesy pull.

5. Finish in the Oven:
Increase the oven temperature to 200 degrees Celsius (390 degrees Fahrenheit). Return the bread to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly, with a hint of golden brown on top.

6. Garnish and Enjoy:
Remove the cheesy garlic bread from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley for a touch of freshness and color (optional). Slice it up and serve immediately while it’s hot and gooey.

Tips for Perfect Cheesy Garlic Bread:

• Bread Selection: Using slightly stale bread works best as it holds up well to the toppings and becomes wonderfully crispy.
• Cheese Options: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese like cheddar, parmesan, or a blend for added flavor.
• Garlic Dip: If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, feel free to add more Grumpy Gary’s Gar-lick dip to suit your taste.
