“Of all the different appetizers I've made over the years, this one is always the first to go and it is SUPER easy to make. You can use either sweet or sour dough bread, both are tasty! I will usually assemble the Cheesy Breads the morning of the party on cookie sheets and cover with plastic wrap and keep in the fridge. When everyone has arrived at the party I just pop them in the oven and serve them piping hot! If you don't want the bread to be crunchy, broil them instead of baking them. I've tried them both ways and crunchy is better!” - by Barbi

"Being a cheese addict, this turned out to be one of my favorites. Don't attempt to go lite or fat-free on this recipe, because you'll be missing the best part. I did have to add a little more mayo t..." See moreo make the mixture spreadable...using high-quality black olives, fresh green onions and the crustiest bread you can find will make this a major treat. UPDATE: 01/06/06- I still have to say that this is the most requested appetizer for every party that I attend. People want to know if the cheesy bread will be there, regardless if we are attending. 1/2 a packet of ranch is really all you need (otherwise will be too salty)...definitely experiment with other toppings such as grilled chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, etc. Yum."

"Try using only 1/2 a package of the Ranch Dressing Mix. They are wonderful and not too salty that way. These are a family favorite and I can't go to a party anymore without promising to bring these ..." See morealong."
