With a few changes, you can have homemade, and this easy garlic bread is taken to a whole new level! The best garlic spread with the addition of ranch seasoning!
- 1 medium french bread
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tbsp olive oil2 tbs
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- ⅛ tsp pepper
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp ranch seasoning mix
- 8 pieces of bacon, chopped into smaller pieces
- 1¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ⅓ cup shredded parmesan cheese
- fresh parsley, to garnish (optional)
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place two pieces of aluminum foil and place side by side allowing one side to overlap slightly the other on a rimmed baking sheet. Slice bread in half lengthwise through the height of the bread. Place bread cut side up on the baking sheet.
-
Mix the butter, olive oil, minced garlic, pepper, salt, and ranch seasoning mix in a small bowl. Spoon and spread the mixture evenly on the entire surface of both bread halves if using a medium french bread, or on one-half if using a larger French bread. Wrap foil over the bread and bake for 10 minutes.
-
Remove from oven, open the foil and roll inward toward the bread.
-
Add 4 pieces (half) of the bacon pieces to the top of the bread. Sprinkle with the mozzarella and parmesan cheeses. Bake for an additional 6 minutes longer. Broil for the last 1-2 minutes for a crispier bread and a more golden cheese, if desired.
-
Top with fresh parsley. Cut into slices and serve warm.
