Recipe Notes
I brush the bread with the melted butter and garlic, the loaf I purchased was too big for my skillet. Low fat mayonnaise can be used, but not fat free mayonnaise, since the fat free doesn’t bake as well. A variety of cheeses can be used, just have them add up to the amount the recipe requires. I used a cheddar, colby and mozzarella mixture. You can use cheeses that go better with the meal you are preparing.
