Garlic Cheese Bread If you don’t love the bubbly wonderfulness of piping hot garlic cheese bread, write this date on your calendar. Because that’s all about to change. Here’s what you need: Butter. One stick. Softened. Mayonnaise. Garlic. Cheddar cheese. A loaf of French bread. Just kidding! Begin by grating the cheese. Peel the garlic by banging it with a can, then peeling off the outer papery skin. Then finely mince the garlic. This is fine enough. Grab four green onions. Lop off the tops, then slice them just until you get into the dark green area. Then go over the slices with the knife to mince them up finely. Now dump 1/2 cup mayonnaise into a mixing bowl. Add the cheese. The minced green onions… And the Parmesan. Stir it all together. Set this mixture aside, or better yet: Make it several hours beforehand and store it in the fridge. When you’re ready to make the bread, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Then cut each half….in half! Also, just to make it easy, divide the garlic into four small piles. Like this.

Perfect Buttercream | stetted You know the scene – you’re at a party, and it’s time for the cake to be served.
