Roasted garlic and sautéed vegetable cheese bread to enjoy for a meatless meal any day of the week.

Garlic Bread with Cooked Vegetables

This vegetable cheese bread is easy to make and is full of flavor.

It’s made with French bread that’s topped with roasted garlic, olive oil and fresh herbs before it’s loaded with sautéed vegetables and cheese.

Then it’s baked in the oven until the crust is warm and lightly toasted.

It tastes a lot like a “tomato sauce-less” French bread pizza (if there was such a thing).

About this Recipe:

A bulb of garlic is roasted in the oven until it spreads like butter.

Then it’s mixed with fresh basil, thyme, and olive oil which gives the bread a wonderful light garlic and herb taste throughout.

To top this vegetable bread off, sliced mozzarella and shredded Romano cheese is added inside and out, then baked in the oven for a pizza-like taste and texture.

Let’s check out the ingredients.
