Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup safflower oil margarine, Hollywood
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 1-pound loaf The French Connection bread (page 81),
- or any lactose-free French bread (see page 25)
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese alternative, Soyco
Directions:
Preheat the oven to broil. In a mixing bowl, blend together the safflower margarine, garlic, and oregano. Spread on slices of French bread and then sprinkle generously with the Parmesan cheese alternative.
Place on a rack in the preheated broiler. Broil until the tops are light brown and bubbly, approximately 3 minutes.
Makes a great addition to any Italian dinner or served as an appetizer.
For a stronger oregano flavor, use 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh oregano. In place of the Parmesan cheese alternative, you can use imported, aged Parmesan cheese and grate it. Try a little first to test the level of tolerance in your system.
