Cheesy Onion Garlic Bread

This is not your typical garlic bread. In this recipe, slices of bread are topped with a garlic and onion mixture, then a cheesy mixture is added. They are so good. Made these in class last night. I couldn’t find baguettes, so we used a nice Italian bread. They came out great. Substantial enough to make a meal if served with a salad.   

Cheesy Onion Garlic Bread

2 French baguettes, cut into 3/4 inch diagonal slices

1 large minced onion

8 cloves minced garlic

1/4 cup butter

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup mayonnaise

Preheat the broiler. Slice the French baguettes diagonally into 3/4 inch slices.

In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Combine the onions and garlic in the skillet. Cook and stir until tender. Set aside to cool. In a mixing bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese and mayonnaise. On a cookie sheet, arrange the French bread slices in a single layer. Spread the onion and garlic mixture on the bread slices. Spread the cheese and mayonnaise mixture over the onion and garlic mixture on the bread slices. Broil about 5 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned. Serve immediately.

Note: You can also bake at 450 degrees until the cheese is melted and toasted. That will take a little longer than the broiler, about 10 minutes.
