Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/3 cup reduced-fat margarine
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 loaf (1 pound) unsliced French bread, halved lengthwise
  • 3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese

Method

  • In a small nonstick skillet, saute onions and garlic in margarine for 1-2 minutes. Stir in the seasonings. Brush over cut sides of French bread; sprinkle with cheese.
  • Wrap each piece of bread loosely in a large piece of heavy-duty foil; seal edges of foil. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted. Cut each piece into six slices. Serve warm.
