Easy Cheesy Garlic Bread

Are you lazy but love garlic bread? Here’s an easy recipe you can throw together anytime. I made these with bagel slices, but you can substitute, bread, English muffins, or whatever else you might have lying around.
Here’s what you’ll need:
Bread
Chopped garlic
Butter
Adobo seasoning (if you don’t have you can substitute garlic powder, salt, pepper, and oregano)
Paprika
Cheese of your choice (I used mozzarella)

Here’s what you do:
Preheat the oven to 400 °F (a toaster oven works as well)
Spread the butter and garlic on the bread
Add adobo seasoning and paprika(or other spices that you are using)
Sprinkle the bread with cheese
Cook for seven to ten minutes

Remove from the oven and enjoy!

Spicy Bruschetta

What a kick in the face!

Dig in!

This is a delicious and easy throw together. Obviously I left the seeds in because These Guys like their food extra spicy. This recipe is great as a snack, side dish, or just something great to munch on. Here’s what you do:

Get yourself:

3 tomatoes-diced

2 jalapeno peppers -finely diced

basil -about 10-15 leaves (a good amount)- chopped

5 cloves garlic-minced 

Salt, pepper, red pepper flakes

 

Mix everything together and enjoy!

Note: This recipe is particularly spicy. If you want a more medium heat I would recommend one jalapeno. However, if you want this to blow your mouth off I suggest you leave the seeds IN the jalapeno.
