Why You’ll Love This Recipe
There is nothing quite like a warm slice of homemade garlic cheese bread. This easy garlic cheese bread recipe uses simple ingredients to create a restaurant-quality side dish. It is crispy on the outside, incredibly soft on the inside, and loaded with rich garlic flavor.
Ingredients
1 large loaf of French bread or Italian bread
½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
4-5 cloves garlic (finely minced)
2 tbsp fresh parsley (finely chopped)
2 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
¼ cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
A pinch of salt
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep the Oven and Garlic Butter
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt until smooth and thoroughly combined.
2. Slice and Spread
Slice your bread loaf in half horizontally. Place both halves cut-side-up on a large baking sheet. Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture across the open faces of the bread, making sure to get all the way to the edges.
3. Pile on the Cheese
Combine the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan. Generously sprinkle the cheese mixture over the buttered bread to guarantee that signature, gooey cheese bread texture.
4. Bake to Golden Perfection
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly. For those beautiful, slightly browned spots shown in the picture, turn the oven to broil for the last 1 to 2 minutes (watch it closely so it doesn't burn!).
5. Garnish and Serve
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with a little extra fresh parsley for color, let it cool for a minute, and slice it up. Serve immediately while the cheese stretch is at its peak!
