Makes 6 to 8 appetizer servings
1 can (15 ounces) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons lemon juice (about one medium lemon)
2 garlic cloves, whole
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
6 slices Wonder® bread, crusts removed
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 400F.
Place beans, parsley, lemon juice, whole garlic cloves and oregano in a food processor.
While the food processor is running, add the olive oil in a slow, steady stream. Set bean dip aside.
Slice each slice of bread into thirds. Place bread strips on a baking sheet. Add 1 minced garlic clove to melted butter and brush on bread. Bake for 5 to 6 minutes. Turn bread sticks and brush with butter. Sprinkle bread sticks evenly with Parmesan. Bake 5 to 7 additional minutes or until toasted.
Serve warm bread sticks with bean dip.
Tip: Make the warm, garlic seasoned bread sticks as directed in the recipe and serve them with pasta as you would garlic bread, or an accompaniment to any soup or salad.
Tip: If desired, for Sesame Wonder bread Sticks, sprinkle 1 tablespoon sesame seeds over bread along with the Parmesan cheese. Bake as directed.
