STACI'S CHEESY ROASTED-GARLIC CRACK BREAD
I originally got making up a hopped-up bread idea from Pinterest. My household however loves cheese, and garlic, and I have really cranked it up with extra cheese and red pepper flakes, and roasted garlic spread! I made this for Thanksgiving as an appetizer, and it got DEMOLISHED ( which is why I don't have a pic to post of it...

Steps:
- 1. Ingredients: 1 loaf hearty-crusty bread, I used Italian 2 ½ sticks salted butter Large head of Elephant Garlic Olive oil to drizzle over garlic for roasting Cavender's Greek Seasoning Sea Salt or Pink Himalayan Salt Red Pepper Flakes Mozzarella Cheese - full fat 1 ½ - 2 cups Parmesan Cheese - the good stuff. Shreds work great. About ¾ - 1 cup.
- 2. Preheat your oven to 400. Cut and peel the entire head of garlic, and place in a cover-able dish. Sprinkle with some salt. Drizzle olive oil over garlic and toss lightly. Cover and roast for about 30 - 40 minutes. The garlic will caramelize, you WANT this !
- 3. While your garlic is roasting, cross hatch your bread all the way to the bottom, but not all the way through. Place on a sheet of tin foil that is large enough you will be able to seal the whole loaf to bake. Melt your butter and set aside. You can actually just let it sit out and get really soft instead of melting, as you will be mixing it with the spices and garlic and a spread can be easier to deal with than painting with something melted.
- 4. When the garlic is done, ( and you do not have to use it all for the recipe!! You can save some and use for bruschetta another day, it keeps in the fridge for at least a week ), you are going to mix the Greek seasoning, butter, ½ the Parmesan cheese, salt and red pepper flakes to taste, until well combined. Then start spreading or painting both sides of all your cross-hatched bread. Once you've done that, start stuffing all the cross-hatches with Mozzarella, and top with Parmesan. Drizzle/paint a little mixture over the top, seal up the bread as tightly as you can without compromising the cheese getting stuck to the tinfoil.
- 5. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Open the tinfoil, sprinkle on a little more Parmesan cheese, and bake exposed for about 5-10 minutes, or until the bread is browned to your liking and the cheese is melty ooey-gooey !!!!!!!!!! Pull from the oven, and Mangia !!!!
CHEESY CRACK BREAD
Yup... we see why this bread could be addicting. The cheese mixture is so good and creamy. This would top off an Italian meal perfectly. But, cut this into bite-sized pieces and they'd be a great appetizer. Yum!

Steps:
- 1. Cut the loaf of bread lengthwise and lay out on a baking sheet, cut side up. The baking sheet can be foil-lined for easier clean up.
- 2. Mix all the other ingredients together. Depending on how soft your cream cheese is, your mixture may end up lumpy. This doesn't matter - will be just fine either way.
- 3. Spread the cream cheese mixture on the bread.
- 4. Place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese and bubbling and the bread is just beginning to brown around the edges. Cut in slices and serve! (Best to make 2 batches, as the first will disappear quickly!)
