Home made Easy-Cheesy Garlic Bread!

Garlic breads are classic appetizers served in the Italian restaurants and Pizzerias these days!!!!
In this recipe I have tried to recreate the dish and it turned out pretty good!!!
There are a few steps involved, if we have all the ingredients it is easy to make. We can make use of any regular store bought non-sweet bread to make this appetizer.









There are a few steps involved.

Making Garlic butter- Melt butter in a sauce pan, and add chopped garlic to infuse the garlic flavor through out the butter untill the garlic turns light golden brown.








Moving on to the rest of the process:

Preheat the oven to 400 degree F.
Take store bought bread slices, and lay them on a baking sheet.
To the bread  apply the garlic butter liberally, then add the shredded mozzarella cheese to cover the bread completely. 
Then sprinkle the chopped basil leaves all over the bread.
Lastly season  the bread with salt and pepper and bake them in the oven for 10-12 min, till the cheese melts.
Then rise the temperature to broil and continue to bake till the cheese starts to turn golden brown.
Take out the bread from the oven and cool for few minutes.
 Cut them into long strips and serve them warm with some marinara sauce


Oh! By the way here is the list of ingredients:
Slices of bread- 4 slices.
Butter- 3 Tb sp.
Garlic Clove-1.
Mozerella cheese(shredded)- 2 cups.
Basil leaves- 6-8 leaves.
