Gorgonzola Garlic Bread

If you’ve been following my daily postings, I’m sure you’ve figured out by now that whenever I try something I enjoy at a restaurant, it becomes my mission to recreate it in my own kitchen. Well, this is another one of those times. I was first introduced to Gorgonzola Garlic Bread at a Cajun restaurant in Northampton, MA. It was love at first sight, and taste. I think I could make a meal out of this alone, with a nice glass of wine, of course. Paired with pasta, it’s a match made in heaven! This is a first class take on garlic bread. If you like Gorgonzola, you have to experience this first-hand. I didn’t even know I liked Gorgonzola until I tried this!

Preheat oven to 400° F.

Cream softened butter with the Gorgonzola Cheese. Mince garlic and add to cheese mixture. Add chopped parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add basil and oregano.

Cut loaf of Italian bread (or long crusty rolls) in half lengthwise. Spread cheese mixture evenly on both halves. Put both halves back together and wrap in foil.

Place in 400° F. oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Open foil and lay 2 halves flat. Turn on broiler for a minute or two to brown tops slightly. Cut each half into slices and serve with your favorite pasta!
