This one goes by WinZippy bread in our family and circle of friends. My mom's name was Winifred, and when she gave this recipe to her best friend, Martha, it had the above title on the card. Without the benefit of seeing the title written out, her family thought of it as WinZippy, as opposed to Win's Zippy, and the new name was born. Martha made recipe cards for this and brought them to distribute at Mom's memorial service. A fun reminder of how much my mom loved people and feeding them in her home.
1 long loaf sourdough French bread, cut in half, long ways
1/2 lb. extra sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1/4 cup minced parsley
1 clove garlic, minced (I use more)
1/2 lb. butter, softened
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Salt and Pepper to taste
Mix all ingredients, except bread, until well blended.
Spread on bread loaf halves and let stand an hour or two.
Heat under broiler until bubbly and just turning brown.
Hint: Watch it! It can burn quickly! I know this from experience!
