COOKING WITH CLORIS -- CHEESY BACON GARLIC BREAD

Keeping with our comfort food theme for January, today Cloris offers a spin on the traditional cheesy garlic bread by adding a secret ingredient. -- AP

CHEESY BACON GARLIC BREAD
(serves 6-8)

Ingredients:
1 loaf crusty Italian bread
6 slices bacon
1 package shredded mozzarella cheese
1 stick butter
6 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
Cook bacon. Allow to cool. Cut into small pieces.

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add garlic and cook 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.

Slice bread. Place on non-stick baking sheets. Spoon butter/garlic mixture over slices. Top with shredded cheese. Sprinkle with bacon.

Bake in 400 degree pre-heated oven until cheese melts and browns slightly (approximately 15 minutes.)

Wouldn’t this be perfect with tomato bisque for lunch or dinner? How about for your Superbowl party? -- AP

    This sounds fabulous! What could be better than bacon, cheese and garlic? I'm definitely going to try it. Paired with a bowl of soup, it would be perfect on a winter evening. Thanks so much!

    Try it with a bowl of tomato bisque, Jane. That's my favorite.

    This recipe sounds great and easy. I have a similar one made with cream cheese and butter mixture combined, then spread onto the French bread or Italian bread. Mine doesn't have the bacon...so I'm going to try yours! Yum!
