Ingredients
Instructions
- Thaw the white bread and spread it out.
- Evenly distribute the cheese, garlic salt, and onion salt over the bread.
- Roll up the bread tightly.
- Butter the top of the rolled bread and sprinkle with Romano cheese.
- Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes until golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, try adding herbs like oregano or basil along with the garlic and onion salt. If you don’t have Romano cheese, Parmesan is a great substitute. You can also use whole wheat bread for a healthier option. Ensure the bread is fully thawed for even spreading and rolling.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cheese bread warm, sliced into pinwheels or strips, as a perfect appetizer or snack. It pairs beautifully with marinara sauce for dipping. You can also serve it alongside soups or salads, such as a light Pear Under The Sea Salad, to create a balanced meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cheese bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, wrap it in aluminum foil and bake at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through and crispy. This will help maintain the texture.
