Garlic Bread


 Growing up, I was crazy for Italian food.  I could have lived off of pasta and garlic bread.  In fact, I'm pretty sure I did when I first went vegetarian.  But, let's be honest, most of us are guilty of that.  To this day, I don't think a meal is complete unless there's one...or four cloves of garlic in it.  I just find it so comforting and it makes everything a little(or a lot) better.

This garlic bread came about from my recent pizza making and desire to recreate one of my favorite dinner sides as a child.  I prepared them on a whim and placed them in the oven during the last 5 minutes of making my favorite veggies.  They turned out great and, since then, have been requested by Dayv every night for dinner.  They are the perfect amount of crunchy, buttery, and garlicy.  But don't be afraid to add an extra clove or two of garlic on top, I do.


Garlic Bread
makes two pieces
2 slices of gluten-free bread(or regular)
Earth Balance
1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
mozzarella cheese shreds(I used Teese)
Italian seasoning

Preheat oven to 400.  Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.  Butter both sides of bread slices, and place on aluminum foil.  Scatter garlic and cheese over the tops of bread.  Lastly, sprinkle on Italian seasoning.   Place in oven for 5-8 minutes, depending on how crunchy you like your garlic bread.  Remove from heat and serve with tomato sauce.  Enjoy!

  1. I looooovvvvveee garlic too. And these look great. I have made plenty of vegan garlic bread, but so far I haven't used any vegan cheese on top. I take it Teese is a good brand? I usually use Daiya or Follow Your Heart.

  8. Mmm, it really is all about those simple pleasures, isn't it? Like you, I adore garlic. At our co-op, they sell loaves of sourdough that have whole roasted cloves of garlic inside. They only sell it three days a week, and I know which days those are, so that I can make a special trip to get a loaf. It's so good sliced and then grilled on our outdoor grill. I don't know what I'm going to do when it's too cold to grill... I don't want to be deficient in the bread group! ;)

  10. Oh my lord- super buttery, garlicky garlic bread is the best. So simple, yet so indulgent. You've totally reminded me that it's been far too long since I've had some. Your's looks absolutely divine!

  11. Garlic is added to just about everything- my local farmstand carries the most fragrant and almost sweet garlic - nothing compares...I stock up the best I can before they close for the winter, garlic makes everything better!

  12. I love the simplicity of this recipe. Perfect for when a garlic craving hits (usually in the very inconvenient wee hours of the morning for me). It looks delicious!
