Garlic Bread

Ingredients:
1 baguette (French bread)
4 or 5 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbs. Minced fresh parsley
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
½ cup nondairy cheese, shredded (optional)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut baguette in half, length-wise.

In a small-size bowl, combine garlic, parsley, olive oil, cayenne pepper, and salt. Grind some fresh pepper into the bowl.

Spread mixture evenly on each side of baguette, using the back of a spoon. Place the bread, face up, on a baking sheet, and bake for 10 minutes.

If you want to add cheese, take bread out of oven after 10 minutes, sprinkle on cheese, turn oven up to broil, and pop bread back in for 2 minutes, until sides are golden brown and cheese is melted.

Remove from oven and let cool. Using a serrated knife, cut bread into single servings, on an angle, for a pretty presentation.
