Ingredients

8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded or coarsely grated
6 ounces butter, at room temperature
4 scallions, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (1 pound) loaf ciabatta bread, cut in half horizontally

Directions

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

In a food processor, combine the cheese and butter. Process until the mixture is smooth. Add the scallions and pulse until combined. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Spread the cheese mixture on the cut sides of the bread. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden.

Using a serrated knife, cut the bread into 1-inch thick slices and serve.

THE BEST GARLIC SPREAD EVER!!!!!!!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

If you're looking for a wonderful garlic spread, look no more! Giada's recipe is excellent. My food processor did not... cooperate so I had to do some of the mixing by hand and it still turned out to be 'ooh lala!' The garlic, scallions and salt popped with flavor! My only suggestion is if you're going to serve it as an appetizer, put it in the oven, then straigt to the table for your guest so they can get it nice and hot with the cheese nice and melted. It will not disappoint! Someone below mentioned that the bread had to be dipped in chili otherwise it was boring...WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??? My guest could not stop eating the bread...before the lasagna was on the plate!! This recipe WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN! Thanks Giada!Read more

I made this with the chili from this episode and it was SO GOOD!! If it wasn't so fattening, I could have eating half the... loaf! Great recipe and a definite crowd pleaser!Read more

Super!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was SO great! I didn't use the scallions because my guests didn't like them, but it still turned out perfect!! I have... already made it a second time. I used a Multigrain Tuscan bread and it was delicious! Read more

Yummy!

Had this the other night with grilled steaks and a salad. Awesome. Better than Clearman's spread. This is a keeper.

Perfect side for the chili!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was the perfect side dish for the chili! I wanted to eat the whole loaf by myself, but I had to contain myself....
