This is probably one of the best breads of its type on this site and have been making it for several years. Also have served it in appetizer size and there never seems to be enough. Highly recommend. P.S. you can also play around with different cheeses to suit your taste.

Didn't allow enough time in the oven so I had to bake then broil to finish. Next time try on the grill as intended.

This recipe needs to be tweaked, but I am not sure how. It had too much of a garlic and mayo flavor. My husband cooked it a little too long and that didn't help either. I love garlic, but this was a little too much for my taste buds. Maybe add less of the 2 ingredients and DON'T over or under cook it.

Made this with dinner last night and it was really tasty..only thing I will do differently next time is cook the bread under the broiler instead of wrapping it in foil and placing on the grill. The outside of the bread got too crunchy on the grill and the inside stayed too wet so under the broiler should make both crunchy and delicious.

Well, I already had the grill going (this was being served with Grilled Pepper Steak Salad from this site) and I have to say that I'm not a fan of mayo in garlic bread and this recipe just proved it once again even after cutting the amount of mayo in half. I'm glad I only used half the loaf of bread so I had bread left to go to my old stand by recipe for garlic bread. I think next time I'll just use butter in place of the mayo and definitely add some oregano and leave out the half and half. When it comes to the amount of garlic - use your own judgement and adjust to your tastes.

This is not so bad, although I did cut way back on the mayo, and if I make it again I think I'll use margarine instead--personal preference. I didn't have a loaf of french bread, but I did have thin slices of a round loaf I made yesterday, so I used that instead. I burned a few of the slices while crisping on the grill, so I tossed a couple to the birds. That hurdle leaped, though, I put the spread on each slice then put the slices of bread together like sandwiches and put in the foil on the top rack of the grill while I grilled ham slices. Worked pretty well, although I would prefer not to grill these if I did it again. I usually broil my garlic bread, and apparently I'm better with the broiler than the grill. Bf seemed so so on these--they were a bit too crispy for him. I think they are okay but I don't think the mayo is my thing. thanks for the recipe!

Based on the rec. of others, I used half the amount of mayo and half the amount of garlic. I also did not have cheddar so omitted it. It was good. I took off the foil and placed them top up in hopes of getting a crusty cheese topping, which worked a little. I think this might be better in the broiler since it would get browned on top.

absolutely fantastic bread!! I end up eating so much of this when I make it that i don't eat the main meal! You can alter this recipe in many ways, JUST DON'T USE MIRACLE WHIP INSTEAD! ICK! I would say the biggest thing I do is broiling it in the oven.

Really just OK. I made it exactly how the recipe states, I actually thought it tasted more like a 3 1/2 stars but none of the people I served it to really mentioned it and no one went back for seconds.

Delicious! However, I would DEFINITELY half the topping. It tastes great but it is WAY TOO MUCH and TOO RICH! I wouldn't change anything else but the quantity. Great easy side for visitors.
