Cheesy Garlic Bread

 

If there's any bread that I can say that I'm obsessed with is Cheesy Garlic Bread

The store brought ones is so good.

But, I just found out myself that the Homemade ones is 100 times better!

It is actually not hard to make. 

I swear this is the best!

Aromatic Garlic Confit

The key to cheesy garlic bread is the garlic confit. Oven-roasted with herbs for a delectable fragrance, the only way you’ll make garlic cheese bread from now on. Easy to make, it just needs a little patience as it simmers away in olive oil. You can infuse your olive oil with rosemary, black peppercorns, bay leaves, lemon zest or flakey sea salt for a tantalising taste or keep it simple with some sprigs of thyme. Once the garlic turns golden brown and is soft to the touch, it will lend a caramelised flavour and buttery, velvety texture that will melt in your mouth. This garlic confit will upgrade your cheese and garlic bread and is a delicacy you’ll constantly crave.

Bake 2 cloves of Garlic in Olive oil and herbs

375 F until soft.

I would say its about 15-20 minutes.

Ingredients

• 1 loaf French or Italian bread (approx. 24" long) 
• Garlic confit
• 2 Tbsp olive oil 
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley 
• 1/8 tsp salt 
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 cup Butter, room temperature

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 400ºF. In a bowl, stir together the room-temperature butter, olive oil, garlic confit, garlic powder, chopped parsley, and salt until relatively smooth (a few small lumps of butter are okay).
• Cut the loaf in half, into two 12" long pieces, then cut each piece open lengthwise. Lay the bread on a baking sheet cut sides facing up. Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the open surfaces of the bread.*
• Bake the bread for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy. Bake for less time if you prefer a softer garlic bread, and more time if you prefer a crispier garlic bread. Cut the bread into 2-inch sections and serve hot.

Perfection!!

Enjoy!

2. Next divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions.  They should be 2 oz each.  Gently press one portion of the raw beef into each of the tortillas with your fingers.  It should be completely flattened, or smashed into the tortilla.  Season with salt and black pepper.
3. Next heat up a large skillet or griddle, over medium-high heat.  Add the tacos, ground beef side down, to the hot surface. The number of tacos you can cook at once will depend on the size of your pan / griddle.  Press down on the tortilla side with another pan or skillet, burger press, or any heavy object and cook for about 2-3 minutes.
