Mushroom garlic cheese bread and herb butter recipes

Another one of mom's recipes that I grew up with and love.  Great served with marinara sauce.  Also I included an easy recipe for herbed butter. I used to love the herbed butter at a local restaurant and when I met someone that worked there he told me the secret was sour cream and chive potato topper, who knew?

Mushroom Garlic Cheese Bread

1 loaf of french bread

1- 1 1/2 cups garlic butter (butter and garlic salt mixed together seasoned to taste)

8 slices American Cheese

8 slices Swiss Cheese

1 4 oz can sliced mushrooms

Slice the bread at 3/4 of an inch increments without cutting all the way through.

Butter the left side of each slice and then cut the cheese pieces into sizes that will fit in between the bread

Stuff the cheese slices in between the slices doing 1 american slice and 1 swiss slice in each slit. Then add the mushrooms in between each slice.

Wrap bread in tin foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30 mins or until cheese is melted.

Enjoy!

Herb butter

5 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons sour cream and chive potato topper

1/2 teaspoon garlic salt or more to taste

Whip all 3 ingredients in a bowl. You can serve like this or you can make it into pads of butter. If you would like to have pads of butter spoon mixture onto plastic wrap and roll into a butter log. 

Refrigerate until solid (about 4 hours) then you can cut into slices. These can be used on top of potatoes, vegetables, or steak. They can also be used to stuff burgers.
