Grilled Bread with Cotija Cheese

Grilled Bread with Cotija Cheese…I love crispy toasted bread dripping with goodness and served with …well, served with anything!

There is a little Italian cafe tucked into a little strip of shops very close to our home….and I love to go there for the toasted bread with a dipping sauce of Parmesan cheese, extra virgin olive oil, chile pepper flakes and of course garlic!

The below recipe is a variation of this dipping oil….but leaning towards the Mexican side rather than the Italian side.

Try it and let me know if you like it.

Enjoy!
