Cheese Garlic Bread

It’s the only dish that my grandparents like since they are fond of cheese or bread. Whenever we go for lunch or dinner, we order a warm portion of garlic bread and they devour it. Recently I recreated the recipe using a baguette and lots of cheese. They thoroughly enjoyed it.

Ingredients

  • 1 Baguette or Any Bread
  • 2 Tbsp Ghee or Clarified Butter (salted or unsalted but softened)
  • 1 Tsp Salt
  • 4 Cloves Garlic (finely chopped)
  • 1 Tsp Chilli Flakes
  • 1 Tsp Oregano
  • 1 1/2 Cups Mozzarella Cheese (grated)

Preparation

Prep: 15 minutes
Cooking: 20 minutes

  1. For the mixture, take a bowl and add ghee or unsalted butter, salt as per taste, garlic, chilli flakes and oregano. Mix well and keep aside (if you are using salted butter, do not add salt).
  2. Slice the baguette into 1-inch vertical pieces.
  3. Apply the mixture and sprinkle cheese.
  4. On a hot tawa or pan, grease some ghee or butter. Place the ready slices and cover it with a lid for 5-7 minutes. Serve hot!

I've always lived with my Nana-Nani and my Nani makes amazing food so I barely cook. I recently graduated as a Software Engineer and before I could look for a job, the pandemic broke and we were all under lockdown. The search came to a halt and the anxiety about the future hit me hard. I had to get out of that feeling so I diverted my mind into exercising, yoga, meditation and even cooking. I started with helping my Nani by chopping vegetables, making tadkas, kneading soft doughs and in no time, I was rolling round chapatis. Cooking kept my mind in the present and made me patient and consistent. My Nani is glad that I don’t make a mess while cooking anymore, that gives her great joy. My Nanaji says that he doesn’t have to go out to a restaurant because I can cook almost everything. Now I don’t want to stop cooking. Thank you, Lockdown!
