Christmas Garlic Bread or Once-a-Year Garlic Bread

Bread just at Christmas?  Garlic Bread only once a year?  Maybe, when you read this recipe.  It's full of fat, and is gooey and delicious and something we look forward to every Christmas, although it's nothing like Grandma's Christmas Bread!  I was introduced to this version by my aunt, and have finally created a recipe after much trial and tasty "error."  :)

2 sticks of butter, completely melted
3/4 C mayonaise, (light is good here!)
2 tsp. minced garlic (more or less to personal taste)
2 C finely shredded cheese (any cheddar, or mix of several works)
8-16 finely sliced green onions (these can be omitted)

Melt butter.  Add in the mayo and stir until smooth.  Add garlic, cheese and onions.  Spread thickly on 2 - 21" loaves of French bread.  Broil on high for 3 minutes or longer if you like a crispier bread.  Cool some before cutting, or cut before broiling.

The loaves I use are from Sam's Club and come in a two-pack.  This recipe is enough for one pack.  I usually make one loaf with onions (just 8) and one without.
