Ingredients
- 1 Crusty round loaf of bread
- 3.5 ounces butter
- 1 clove garlic
- salt and pepper
- 1 tomato
- 6 ounces Gouda cheese
- 1.5 tablespoons parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Combine butter and a clove of minced garlic in a bowl and melt the butter (on the stove or in the microwave). Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Wash and core the tomato. Disregard the seeds and cut in tiny cubes. Grate the cheese and chop the parsley.
- Cut the bread in slices, but do not cut all the way through. Cut slices of approx. 1 inch thickness. Swivel the bread 90 degrees and cut again 'slices' of approx. 1 inch thickness. You'll end up with small cubes of 1 inch square. If you don't have a round shape, you may want to cut at a diagonal for a more interesting look.
- Drizzle the garlic butter in each of the cracks. Make sure you stir the butter frequently, you want the garlic to go in every crack and not only in one.
- Now divide the tomato over the cracks and follow with the grated cheese.
- Wrap the loaf in aluminum foil and bake it in the oven for 20 minutes. When you open the foil, the cheese should be melted.
- Put the loaf back in the oven (uncovered) for another 5 minutes to slightly brown the top and add a crunch. Sprinkle with parsley.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
The nutritional value is based on an entire loaf of bread.
