Gooey Garlic Cheese Bread
- 8 ounces whole-wheat baguette
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 cups low-fat, low-sodium chicken broth
- Salt
- Crushed red pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- 3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat mozzarella, such as Weight Watchers
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- Preheat the oven to 450 F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Split the baguette in half crosswise, then lengthwise, to make 4 pieces.
- Rub the entire surface of each piece of bread with the garlic.
- Place the bread, cut side up, on the prepared baking sheet and bake until the bread begins to brown, about 8 minutes.
- Remove the bread from the oven.
- Turn the broiler on high.
- Pour the chicken broth into a small bowl, and dunk each piece of bread in the broth, allowing it to absorb a good amount of liquid.
- Place the soaked pieces of baguette back on the baking sheet, cut side up.
- Season them with salt and crushed red pepper to taste.
- Sprinkle with the Parmigiano-Reggiano and mozzarella.
- Broil the bread until the cheese is bubbly and beginning to brown, about 3 minutes.
- Sprinkle the parsley over the bread, cut each piece in half, and serve.
- Parsley is the worlds most popular herb, and for good reason.
- It adds a mild, fresh flavor and an eye-catching green color.
- A sprig of parsley provides much more than a decoration on your plate, though.
- Its a good source of folic acidone of the most important B vitamins, which help prevent heart disease.
