Garlic, cheesy bread is always a favorite and this method takes a lot of the work out of buttering.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees
One long loaf of French bread
Equal measure of olive oil and butter, amount depending on bread size
Garlic to taste, I use a microplane to grate or you can finely mince
I use about 5 large cloves of garlic per ¼ cup oil and ¼ cup butter
Dried oregano, ¼ teaspoon, rub between your palms to crush and release the oils
Red pepper flakes
Parmesan or cheese of choice, grated
Slice bread lengthwise and then across to form pieces for serving
Melt olive oil and butter in a small shallow pan, add garlic, oregano and pepper flakes. Take off heat, dip cut side of piece of bread into mix, place on foil lined cookie sheet. Top with grated cheese, bake until golden.
