Notes

Servings
 
I ended up cutting my garlic bread in half and made 4 mummies. You need 2 cheese sticks per the half-size bread.
 
Expert Tip on Broiling and Browning
 
If you want to broil the cheese and have it brown evenly, you need your bread to be even on the pan, which wasn't the case with mine. I had to ball up some tin foil to prop it up and be level in the oven. Frozen bread isn't in the most perfect shape.
 
Read Garlic Bread Instructions
 
Oven baking may vary per brand and sizing. My garlic bread package said to bake at 450 degrees, open face, for 8-10 minutes.
