Garlic Bread

by Febrina Picone Malloy

Ingredients:
1/2 loaf french bread
1/2 stick margarine
1 clove of garlic, finely minced (1/4 tsp garlic powder may be substituted)
Grated parmesan cheese

Directions:
1. For long French bread loaf, use a serrated or electric knife to cut in half to make 2 layers. If the loaf is round, as from a bread machine, cut down the middle and then into fairly thick slices crosswise.
2. Mix margarine and garlic thoroughly.
3. Place cut bread on cookie sheet.
4. Spread margarine mixture on cut sides of bread. Sprinkle lightly with grated Parmesan cheese.
5. Preheat broiler a few minutes and broil close to flame, unless bread is thick. Watch very closely, changing position of broiler pan if necessary--it burns quickly. Just let it get bubbly and lightly browned.
6. Serve immediately.
