Now, here's a recipe you'll all love.
Garlic Bread So Thick And Rich It's Called Artery Bread
Recipe by Marilyn . . . Loved by Caryl
I was inspired by a trip to the Garlic Festival in Gilroy,California in 1982. There I experienced tastes and smells and tourists that were not of this world. That year the winning recipe was a very creamy garlic french bread. I added parmesan cheese,thicker cream, butter, more spices and many more calories to create a bread about which the Surgeon General should issue a warning.
INGREDIENTS
Sour dough french bread 1 loaf Fresh garlic 1 whole flower, diced Salted butter 1 cube Whole whipping cream 1 pint carton Parmesan cheese 1 cup (Kraft or generic, but not fresh grated) Coriander 2 tablespoons Pepper Medley couple shakes Parsley flakes sprinkle for looks
PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
*Preheat oven to 375 .
*Dice all the garlic very small.
*In a medium sauce pan, melt about a quarter cube or less of butter, add the garlic and saute until it is golden.
*Slice the french bread lengthwise creating two halves, then cut 3" thick slices down each half, but don't cut all the way through yet.
*Add remaining butter to sauce pan until all is melted.
*Evenly pour the garlic and butter over each half of the french bread.
*Set sauce pan aside but don't clean it yet.
*Close the bread back up and put it on a cookie sheet.
*Bake uncovered until the outside is slightly crispy and the inside is very warm....
*While bread is heating, pour the whipping cream into the buttery sauce pan, add parmesan cheese and the rest of the spices.
*Stir slowly for a while until sauce is thick and rich. This may take 15 minutes or so. *You can add more cheese to help thicken the cream at any time.
*When bread is warm and sauce is ready, open the bread back up and pour the sauce all over it. This may need two people to get the sauce into the cracks of the slices: one to pour and the other uses two forks to open it up. But choose the second person carefully. You don't want someone who can't control their drools.
*The cream should be all over the bread and the cookie sheet.
*You will need a knife and spatula to serve your Artery Bread and be ready to wipe the brow of your guests . . . they will be in heaven.
WARNING: Do not schedule a cholesterol check within a week of enjoying this bread.
