Solar Cheesy Garlic Bread

Once you have your solar oven French bread (store bought works great too), you can make this Cheesy Garlic Bread.  It is sooooo good.  One of the best parts is the top crust with the spices on it.  I was worried it wouldn't cook that part as well in the solar oven, but it worked great!  I had it in for about 20 min.  You could probably leave it in much longer & it would be fine.  The photo doesn't do it justice.  Smells wonderful & tastes even better!

1 loaf french bread
1/2 cup butter softened
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp parsley
1/2 cup grated parmesan (parmesan/romano blend is good too)

Cut slices down loaf at 1" intervals without cutting all the way through.  Combing rest of the ingredients in small bowl.  Spread between slices of bread & on top.  Wrap in foil leaving top partially uncovered. Bake at 375 for 15 min, or in solar oven.

You can make the butter up to 3 days in advance.
Variation:  white cheddar instead of parmesan & chives instead of parsley
