Tutorial Tuesday: Looks just like homemade garlic toast

It's hard to believe that another summer of carefree barbeques, swimming and camping trips is almost history.  In fact, just yesterday, we saw a tree who leaves looked a lot more yellow than green. Here in sunny Denver, Colorado, fall is on the way.  This week's tutorial is a quick cooking idea to use up any extra hot dogs buns you may have lying around after a weekend barbeque or camping trip.
 

Quick "Homemade" Garlic Toast
(See that embroidery!  We did that!  Embroidery services start as low as $5!) 

Looks Just like Homemade Garlic Toast
1/2 cup butter
1 tbsp. garlic powder
leftover hot dog buns
about 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
cooking spray

 

Time:  30 minutes

1.  Preheat oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2.   Coat a cookie sheet with cooking spray.
3.  Separate the hot dog buns at the seam making two breadstick shaped pieces of bread.
4.   In a small mixing bowl, add butter.  If you use stick butter, make sure it is softened.  Add garlic powder and whip with a spoon until fully mixed.
5.  Spread garlic butter mixture liberally on the top of the buns.
6.  Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.  Place as close to the coils as possible. Even if that means raising your oven shelf.
7.  Remove from oven.  Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and return to oven for 7-10 minutes until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
8.  Allow to cool and enjoy!
