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.

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!!
Dawn says
Oh this would make me skip too, LOL!!
Bob says
Oh no, that’s not wrong. There’s a whole boatload of right going on here.
Kathy Brunner says

Danielle says
Oh my! Nothing more need be said…
foodies at home says
This looks absolutely sinful! My husband would love this ooey gooey cheesy bread!
Kyddryn says
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. 😉
Lisa Sipple says

Marjie says
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.
grace says
this is the primary reason i could never be on a low-carb diet. bread perfection!
Susan at The Spice Garden says
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!
lisaiscooking says
Cheesy, crunchy garlic bread inspires me in the same way! I don’t think I would have stopped at two pieces.
vanillasugar says
oh sweet charlotte! yeah, i can see why this would be good. Good grace!!!
Paula says
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!
Barbara says
I made this tonight – I added sauteed portabello mushrooms… it was to die for! YUMMY!!
LilSis says
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!
Natasha says
Oh my goodness that looks good!
Priti McNutt says
Does it matter what Ranch dressing was used?
Cathy says
It shouldn’t. I use Hidden Valley.
Susan says
Would you think bad of me if I added a can of chopped green chiles? Just trying to get a vegetable in there…lol
