There is nothing like crusty bread slathered with butter and oozing cheese that makes me smile, skip, flap my armsand jump for joy. Is that wrong? This is definitely a recipe to put on your bucket list...it's so decadent!
Served with roasted chicken and gravy, it was pure comfort food for my sore muscles. Of course I only had one piece...or two.
Make someone smile, serve this tonight!
Melt butter and brush on bread with a pastry brush. Place bread under the broiler until it's slightly brown and crispy.
Combine cheese and ranch dressing and divide evenly over bread. Place in a 350o degree oven until cheese is melted, about 8-10 minutes.
Sprinkle with parsley once you remove from the oven. Let sit 5 minutes before slicing.

One Year Ago: Italian Medallions
I think I’ve died and gone to heaven.
I can’t tell you how addicted to bread….any kind, any way, shape or form. And the topping just adds to my delight! I could eat it alone or with the roasted chicken, it would satisfy my taste buds just the same. I would never have thought to mix the ranch dressing with the cheese. Even more added flavor! Talk about decadent!!
Oh this would make me skip too, LOL!!
Oh no, that’s not wrong. There’s a whole boatload of right going on here.
This looks so good. I’m a bread and cheese person any way always looking for something easy to fix…wow…can’t wait to try!!!
:):):):):)
Oh my! Nothing more need be said…
This looks absolutely sinful! My husband would love this ooey gooey cheesy bread!
I think my left artery just hardened…
I also think I will now have to make (and, oh the agony) consume this delectable looking treat.
My arse does not thank you, but my tastebuds do!

Cathy, I love the way you cook–unapologetically high calorie and high flavor. Now if I could just learn to match a mile or two walk with each of your recipes.
Bread on crack…I love it. Making it tomorrow.
WOW on earth did you post this!? — I must make it, now – no really, I must! Thanks, my hips don;t say so – but my belly will!
This looks amazing, fattening yet still amazing! I am making it tonight.
oooh, oooh, oooh! Sounds splendid! I love bread with cheese melted all over it, cooked under the broiler. Ranch dressing is over the top goodness.
this is the primary reason i could never be on a low-carb diet. bread perfection!
My God! Put some fresh sliced garden tomatoes under all this cheesy goodness and I think I might faint from the glory of it all!
Cheesy, crunchy garlic bread inspires me in the same way! I don’t think I would have stopped at two pieces.
oh sweet charlotte! yeah, i can see why this would be good. Good grace!!!
I made this using your recipe on the grill last night (there was no way I was turning on the oven in my non-air-conditioned house). I just put a double thick piece of foil on the grill grate … worked perfectly. It was amazing! That ranch dressing really adds a special “zing”. YUM!
I made this tonight – I added sauteed portabello mushrooms… it was to die for! YUMMY!!
I’d be jumping for joy, too! I’d have to make several batches of this at my house! My guys would devour this in record time!
Oh my goodness that looks good!
Does it matter what Ranch dressing was used?
It shouldn’t. I use Hidden Valley.
