2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme or 2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 teaspoons chopped fresh marjoram or 3/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Brush cut sides of slices of slices with garlic oil. Sprinkle herb mixture between slices. Wrap each loaf in foil; place on a baking sheet.
