I was shocked to hear that so many of you do not have this recipe - good old fashioned (it must be from the 80's) Cheesy Bread... made with mayo. This was a staple at our family gatherings growing up. In our family, it went with everything from Lasagna to Brisket - and it still does. Mike is obsessed with it. My Mom made it for a family dinner a couple of years ago and he went crazy. In fact, if I'm making something that is more to my taste than his (shrimp pasta, chicken pasta, grilled chicken...), I will make a batch of this to go along so he has something to be excited about. We made it last Sunday to go along with our pre-Father's Day dinner with Mike's family. See the entire menu, here.
Cheesy Bread
with mayo
1 loaf of French Bread (something soft, not baguette)
1/2 stick of butter, softened
1/2 cup of mayo
4 cups of cheese (I used Monterey jack)
1 teaspoon of garlic salt
Slice the french loaf in half, lengthwise. In a large bowl, mix together butter, mayo, cheese and garlic salt. Spread generously on bread. Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and heated through.
The cheesy bread sounds wonderful, I was just wondering if the garlic salt made it too salty and could you use just garlic powder, I am going to take it for a 4th of July picnic. Your house is absolutely beautiful, your blog is one of my favorites!!! By the way, I made the white peach sangrias for a gathering of women and it was a hit. Mickey
