Cheesy French Bread

"This is a little different from the usual Garlic French breads I've tried. I served this to my daughter for her 28th birthday dinner tonight. I changed the original recipe up some to fit our taste buds. Original recipe from Paula Deen's The Lady & Sons, Too cookbook."

  1. Soooo delicious!!! My favorite cheesy bread recipe from this point forward. Love the Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper...really gives it a nice flavor. I used Mexican shredded cheese and mozzarella cheese with sliced French bread.
     
  2. I made this recipe for dinner tonight with spaghetti. It was quite good. I made it just as stated and it was a big hit with my family. The bread was crunchy and the cheese was all gooey. Just delicious. Thank you for the recipe.
     
  3. I made the recipe scaling it down to 0.25. That way I got 1/2 cup of cheese... It was perfect as a small appetizer for 2. I loved it. But DH didn't because of the mayonnaise. I liked the spicyness of it. Thanks Nimz :) Made for PAC spring 2011
     
  4. Loved this. The mayo added so much to this bread. I made this and we devoured it...lol. I went light on the cayenne but next time I will use a bit more for a bit more "bite". Thank you for sharing with us.
     
  5. We really enjoy this bread. We tried one that also had green chile on it but this one is actually much, much better. Made according to directions and ingredients -- awesome with a large salad for complete meal. Thanks for posting.

  1. Fantastic! I omitted the garlic and red pepper. Next time I'm going to substitute the italian seasoning with a ranch dressing mix packet.

I was one of the original members of Recipezaar that was truly a community of individuals that enjoyed each other in forums and chat rooms. I've been a member of this site since 2003. Made some tremendous friends that I still think of often. I'll continue coming here because my recipes are here and so many more that I tried over the years as a member. It's just a tad boring now and just another recipe site like all the rest. Sad.
