Cheesy Garlic Bread

Given the creamy italian salad dressing in this recipe, I was unsure if it would be good.  Much to my surprise, it worked! This recipe from The Goose Berry Patch turns out was a perfect compliment to the Olive Garden 'Copy Cat' Chicken Scampi dish I made last night. 

 

Ingredients

• ½ c. butter, softened
• 1 to 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• ½ to 1 c. creamy Italian salad dressing
• 1 loaf Italian bread, halved lengthwise
• 2 c. shredded Cheddar, mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese (I used cheddar & parmesan)
• 2 t. dried parsley

Instructions

1. Blend butter, garlic and salad dressing together in a small bowl.
2. Place bread on a baking sheet, cut-side up. Spread butter mixture over both halves.
3. Top with shredded cheese and parsley.
4. Bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees for 10 to 20 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. Slice each half into 8 pieces; serve warm.
