Commander's Palace Garlic Bread

"Years ago, a sudden rash of complaints from Commander's customers 
went like this: 'Put the garlic bread back on the menu. 
I'm not coming back until you do.' Needless to say, the garlic bread 
came back fast.  It's another example of a food that's simple, 
inexpensive, and just plain good."

Makes 2 dozen 1-inch pieces

1 loaf (15 inches long) French bread
6 tablespoons butter, melted
  [Okay, I confess. I use a whole stick.]
2 heads garlic, cloves peeled and minced
1/2 cup grated Pecorino-Romano cheese
1/2 cup chopped fresh dill or parsley

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Cut off the ends of the bread and slice the loaf in half horizontally.
 
Brush the interior generously with the melted butter.
 
Spread the minced garlic, the grated cheese, and then the dill or 
parsley over the butter. 

Cut the bread into 1-inch slices before baking, 
which will make the sides of the bread brown and crispy. 
Place on a baking sheet, separating pieces slightly.
 
Bake for 10 minutes, until crisp and browned 
(or broil for 2 to 3 minutes).
