    This was delicious...we've had it twice this week! First time made it with ciabatta and second time with bread rolls that needed using up. I forgot to season the mixture before I spread it on the bread but it was lovely with a bit of pepper and maldon salt sprinkled on top.

    Perfect! Just add more or less of what we feel like on the day... more cheese or garlic dependant on how we feel. Thinking of adding some parsley and seeing how that tastes too! 5* recipie, quick easy and delicious!

    OMG! NEVER will I buy again! Have done my own garlic bread for a while but the addition of the mayo really does make this delicious!

    Just had a thought, if you substituted the basil for mint, woudn't it make a nice accompaniment for the pea and mint soup?

    Absolutely delicious, I am full of regret for shop buying garlic bread all my life; this is better than even the nicest brands.

    Tried this tonight. Absolutely dreadful. Sickly, overly-rich and yet oddly flavourless when compared to classic garlic bread. The lesson here is "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
