He usually toasts it on the grill, but you can stick it in the oven to toast if you want.
Has a different very tangy taste that is delish!!!

Mint,
ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!! !!!!
I cannot decide if you are my new best friend or if you are, in fact, a devil. Here's what happened. . .
I am constantly renewing my vow to live a life of virtuous eating. Constantly renewing my vow. Constantly renewing my vow. Constantly renewing my vow.
Anyway, today I met a friend for lunch. I had salad with grilled chicken, iced tea, and only one glass of chardonnay. Virtue was my middle name.
Not only was I pretty darned perfect at lunch, but waiting at home for supper was a big pot of something called Tuscan soup. This was a recipe that I had found in one of those checkout line weekly magazines. You all know the magazine I mean. All full of empty promises about how you can be so skinny by the time the next issue arrives.
Well, Mint, before I left the kitchen computer today, I had checked this thread where I saw this wicked little tip of yours about using mayo for garlic bread. (And that would most certainly be Hellman's, NOT Miracle Whip.)
And your little recipe stuck in my brain.
So on the way home, I stopped at the grocery and bought French bread.
I told myself the biggest lie. I told myself that I had to test the recipe. Yeah. Uh huh. Test the recipe! For heavens sake! It is Hellman's slathered on bread, garlic salt, and ground pepper. It's not like it's some souffle or something. But oh no. I had to test the recipe. I am serving filets on the 4th and I thought this might go great with them. But juuuussssst to be sure, I had to test the recipe. Yes, indeed, I did. Goes well with soup.
Well, the Tuscan soup was actually pretty good. Not great. But pretty good. Supposedly this is the stuff that helped Valerie Bertinelli get skinny again. Poor Valerie. You know, being married to Eddie Van Halen would be enough to turn even Mother Theresa into a bit of a butterball. But Valerie lost all that weight with this soup and she's got a new man, who seems much better. I digress.
Back to this wonderful/terrible little recipe. . .
Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!! !!
