“Want rave reviews for your garlic bread? TRY THIS! Made with hoagie rolls, these are easy to make, easy to serve, and disappear really fast!” - by rita

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter, softened
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic paste
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 hoagie rolls, split lengthwise
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese for topping

Hide Checklist

Directions

Preheat the oven broiler. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil.
In a small bowl, make a paste with the butter, mayonnaise, garlic paste, basil, 2 tablespoons Parmesan, and pepper.
Spread equal amounts of the paste on each roll half. Arrange roll halves on the cookie sheet, topping side up, and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese.
Broil on the top rack in the preheated oven 1 to 2 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Watch them very carefully! They can burn very quickly. Basically do these at the last minute before serving and check them closely as they broil.

"I have to say, mayonnaise is a little unconventional, but after all, this is garlic bread Mama Rita’s way…and it’s good. I used rolls from an excellent old Italian bakery in Milwaukee, which I believe..." See more makes all the difference. This will only be as good as the quality of bread you use. Other than using fresh minced garlic rather than garlic paste (not really sure what the submitter meant) I didn’t play with the recipe. Hubs is out of town so I only made one roll for me – good thing."
