Pan-Toasted Garlic Bread

Know what we like? Those very-bad-for-you Texas Toast garlic bread thingies you can buy at the store. They have 8 in the box. They are very yummy. Also very bad for you. These are kind of like that, but way healthier. Not healthy, mind you. Just not as bad for you as the ones in the box. We had them last night with pasta and sauce. This recipe came from the cookbook I am working through now, Land o Lakes Treasury of Country Recipes.

1/3 cup butter
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (omitted, I did want the kids to eat it)
1 tsp minced fresh garlic
6 slices french bread
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella

In 10" skillet, melt butter until sizzling. Stir in cayenne pepper and garlic. Dip both sides of each bread slice in melted butter; place in same skillet. Cook over medium heat, watching closely, until bread is lightly browned (2 to 3 minutes). Reduce heat to low. Turn bread slices over; sprinkle each one with the mozzarella cheese. Cover and continue cooking until cheese is melted. Serve immediately.

Very very good. Definitely keeping it. Good and easy.
