Easy Cheesy Garlic Bread Recipe - Perfect for Any Meal

Ingredients

Servings:
12
  • 1 loaf French bread (Can substitute with Italian bread)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (Softened at room temperature)
  • 4 cloves garlic (Minced or pressed)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (For a stretchy, gooey texture)
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (For added flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (Chopped, for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (Adjust to taste)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Bread

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the loaf of French bread in half lengthwise.

    Use a serrated knife for clean edges.
  2. Make the Garlic Butter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, salt, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Mix until well blended.

    You can add Italian herbs for extra flavor.
  3. Spread the Mixture

    Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread.

    Be generous for maximum flavor.
  4. Add the Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and remaining Parmesan cheese over the buttered bread.

    Feel free to add more cheese if desired.
  5. Bake the Garlic Bread

    Place the bread on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

    For a crispier texture, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  6. Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley if using. Cut into slices and serve warm.

    Pair with pasta or salad for a complete meal.
