[Guest guest]

Roasted Garlic Bread, Olive and Cheese Skewers

 

4 tablespoons unsalted butter or olive oil* 

2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper

1 1/4 teaspoons dried oregano or thyme leaves

1/2 pound mozzarella, provolone or fontina cheese

6 to 8 ounces country Italian bread, such as ciabatta or como

1 red or green bell pepper

12 super colossal ripe olives

4 skewers, 10-inch

 

In small saucepan, stir butter, garlic, salt and white pepper over low heat

until melted and hot. Remove from heat and stir in oregano. Set aside. Preheat

oven to 375 degrees. Cut cheese into 8 (1-inch) cubes. Place cubes in freezer

for 5 minutes before skewering. Cut bread into slices about 1/2-inch thick; cut

each slice into 12, 2-x 2-inch pieces. Cut bell pepper into 12, 1 inch squares.

On each skewer, alternate 3 olives, 3 bread pieces, 3 pepper pieces and 2 cheese

cubes. Set a rack on a baking sheet; place skewers on rack. Remove and discard

garlic from oil. Brush oil on all sides of each skewer. Roast for 3 to 5

minutes, turning once, until cheese is warm and just begins to melt. Serve hot.

Serves 4.
