Blue Cheese Garlic Bread Recipes

Steps:

• In a small skillet, saute shallots in butter until tender; set aside., In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and mustard. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, combine egg and milk. Stir into crumb mixture just until moistened. Fold in cheeses and reserved shallot mixture., Transfer to a greased 8x4-in. loaf pan. Bake at 325° for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to wire rack.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients.
• Cut bread into 1-inch-thick slices, but not all the way through, leaving slices attached at the bottom.
• Spread cheese mixture between slices. Wrap loaf in a large piece of heavy-duty foil (about 28 inches x 18 inches). Fold foil around bread and seal tightly.
• Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes or until heated through. Serve warm.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, heat the milk and butter over medium until the butter is melted. Add the cool water and stir to combine. The mixture should feel just warm to the touch (about 95 degrees). If needed, let cool before using.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, combine the flour, yeast, salt and milk mixture on low speed, 3 minutes. Increase the speed to medium and continue to mix until smooth, another 3 minutes.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly greased medium bowl and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let rise for 1 hour in a warm place. Generously grease a 10-inch cast-iron or oven-safe skillet with about 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a log about 22 inches long and 1 1/4 inches in diameter. Press the crumbled blue cheese into the log in a long stripe down the middle.
• Starting at one end, roll the log into a spiral (the blue cheese should mostly be folded inside the spiral). Place the dough into the prepared skillet. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until noticeably puffy, 35 to 45 minutes.
• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and one below. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Uncover the dough, and brush the surface with heavy cream.
• Place a baking sheet on the lower rack of the oven to catch any cheese that may bubble over. Bake the bread on the middle rack until the bread is golden-brown, 30 to 35 minutes. (It should have an internal temperature of 195 degrees in the thickest part of the loaf.)
• Let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Cut 1/2 inch off top end (opposite root end) of each garlic head, exposing top garlic cloves.
• Remove any loose papery outer skin.
• Place garlic cut side up in nonaluminum baking dish.
• Top with butter.
• Pour oil over.
• Add 1 can broth and white wine to dish.
• Sprinkle chopped rosemary over garlic.
• Place 2 rosemary sprigs in dish.
• Season with pepper.
• (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover; chill).
• Bake uncovered until garlic is tender, basting every 15 minutes with pan juices and adding more broth if necessary to maintain some sauce in dish, about 1 hr 15 minutes.
• Add cheese to dish and continue baking until cheese is almost melted, about 10 minutes.
• Discard rosemary sprigs.
• Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs.
• Serve with bread.

Steps:

• Blend cheese and butter in processor until smooth. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before using.)
• Preheat broiler. Broil bread crust side up until crisp. Turn and broil cut side until light brown. Spread cheese mixture over cut side of bread. Sprinkle liberally with pepper. Broil until cheese bubbles and begins to brown. Remove from broiler and sprinkle bread with celery. Cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Mix cheese and butter in small bowl. Spread cheese mixture over bread rounds, dividing equally. Arrange rounds on baking sheet. Sprinkle each lightly with sugar. Broil until topping is just brown and cheese softens, about 1 minute. Transfer toasts to platter.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients; spread over cut sides of bread. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 2-3 minutes or until lightly browned. Cut into 2-in. slices.

Steps:

• Mix butter, blue cheese and Parmesan cheese thoroughly.
• Cut bread loaf into 1-inch slices.
• Spread butter mixture on cut sides of bread.
• Reassemble loaf.
