I find this crisp bread smothered in a full-flavored topping adds zip to an ordinary meal. It's also a satisfying snack or appetizer. A friend shared this recipe a while back. I always come home with an empty plate when I take it to a gathering. —Judy Skaar, Pardeeville, Wisconsin

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups mayonnaise
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup thinly sliced green onions with tops
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 loaf French bread (about 20 inches), halved lengthwise
  • 1/3 cup minced fresh parsley, optional
  • Paprika, optional

Directions

  1. Mix mayonnaise, cheese, onions and garlic; spread on bread halves, if desired, sprinkle with parsley and paprika. Wrap each half in foil. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours or freeze.
  2. Unwrap and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 8-10 minutes (20-25 minutes if frozen) or until puffed but not brown. Cut into slices.
