Notes
- For the garlic dip/sauce, I usually use the Toom brand garlic dip, which is available at Costco and other locations. But you can easily make some at home.
- Use any bread of your choice.
- You may skip the butter but I like using a bit of butter.
- I used 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, but feel free to use less.
- The time to bake these will vary by a few minutes based on the oven. You want the cheese to melt and the sides of the bread crispy.
