Tabasco Grinder Garlic Bread
Total time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
  • olive mixture (from a jar or the olive bar at your local market)
  • 1/2 cup drained spicy olive mixture
  • 1/3 cup drained pickled peppers (pickled cherry peppers or any pickled pepper will work)
  • 8 ounce cream cheese, softened at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoon tabasco original red sauce
  • 3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1 baguette sliced lengthwise
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • salami, thinly sliced (optional)
Directions
  1. Chop the olives and peppers or pulse them in a food processor until they’re all finely chopped, but not pulverized.
  2. Strain out an excess liquid and reserve the solids.
  3. Put the soft cream cheese in a food processor in several blobs and the feta and salt, and buzz until smooth, about one minute.
  4. Add the chopped olives and peppers back to the food processor with the feta cream cheese and pulse just until it’s fully incorporated.
  5. Yields 1 1/2 cups.
  6. Combine all ingredients and set aside.
  7. Yields 1 1/4 cups.
  8. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  9. In a small bowl, mix the garlic and butter.
  10. Spread evenly across both halves of the baguette.
  11. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the butter is melted.
  12. Reserve until it’s cool enough to handle.
  13. Evenly spread the cream cheese across both halves of the baguette.
  14. Add a single layer of sliced salami if you don’t want to keep it vegetarian.
  15. Drizzle with the Tabasco vinaigrette.
