Cooking Thursday - Bacon Swiss Garlic Bread



Good morning ladies, here we are at another Thursday and right around the corner from the weekend.

Here's a great twist on the usual garlic bread.

Bacon and Swiss Garlic Bread
Adapted from:  Taste of Home


1 loaf (1 pound) French bread (20 inches)
2/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/3 cup chopped green onions
4 teaspoons prepared mustard
Garlic powder to taste
5 slices Swiss cheese
5 bacon strips

Cut bread into 1 inch slices, leaving slices attached at bottom.  In a bowl, combine butter, onions, mustard and garlic powder;  spread on both sides of each slice of bread.

Cut each slice of cheese diagonally into four triangles;  place between the slices of bread.  Cut bacon in half widthwise and then lengthwise;  drape a piece over each slice.

Place the loaf on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil.  Bake at 400 F for 20 to 25 minutes or until bacon is crisp.

Yield:  10 servings

If you're freezing for later, prepare as above, then wrap tightly in foil and freeze.  I don't know exactly how long it will last, I'm assuming as long as normal frozen garlic bread.  I will be using mine next week when I make another pasta dish so it won't sit in the freezer for too long.

Here in India or especially in my home and hometown we dunk our morning bread in our tea yum.. My hometown is Goa which had a strong Portuguese influence even our language I.e Konkani have many Portuguese words in them .wonder if the bread dunking habit comes from there ..
