Ingredients

125g butter, room temperature
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tbs chives, chopped, plus extra to serve
1 - 2 fresh bread sticks
1 cup grated tasty cheese
100g bacon, finely diced
Pinch of salt and pepper

Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180C. Liberally grease a bundt tin.
Step 2

Combine butter, crushed garlic, chives, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Slice bread sticks diagonally into 2cm thick slices. Spread garlic butter on both sides of each slice and arrage in the greased bundt tin, allowing slices to overlap. Sprinkle a little cheese between the slices as you go.
Step 3

Cover the tin with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
Step 4

Meanwhile, cook bacon for 4 - 5 minutes until crisp. Set aside.
Step 5

Remove the bundt tin from the oven and carefully turn out onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. Sprinkle over bacon and remaining cheese, then return to the oven for 8 - 10 minutes. Garnish with extra chives and serve.
