Roasted Onion Parmesan Bread

Wow, from the title I bet you're really impressed. I hate to say this, but you shouldn't be. This was SUCH an easy side for pasta night!



So I'll admit that I'm a sucker for trying new things. Especially if a coupon is involved. And I happened to get a coupon for $2 off a new Hidden Valley dressing. The new line is called Farmhouse Originals and with my coupon I scored a bottle of Roasted Onion Parmesan dressing for less than a dollar. Well it turns out that this dressing is far too rich to ever use as a salad dressing. But I hate to waste food (hello, did you see the photo of me pregnant? I never leave a crumb behind!) so I came up with a solution.



Ingredients:

• 1 loaf french bread


• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese


• 3/4 cup Roasted Onion Parmesan dressing

Directions:

• Cut bread in half lengthwise


• Mix cheese and dressing together in a bowl


• Spread dressing/cheese mixture over the bread


• Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and a little golden

I'm pretty impressed! This was great and so much more fun than just making the usual garlic bread for our dinner. Although as we were eating, I noticed that it didn't look very excited. So I splashed on a little Italian seasonings to give it some color. Don't you think that looks better?

Between you and me, the seasonings didn't really enhance or take away from the bread. So that's totally optional. Make this bread! Or perhaps you have another dressing you're trying to use up before it expires? I think the possibilities and combinations could be endless here!
