What You Need To Make Cheesy Garlic Bread
- Bread – I like to use classic French baguettes but feel free to use any kind of bread you have on hand.
- Garlic – freshly minced garlic is a must. Avoid jar garlic for this recipe.
- Butter – Make sure the butter is completely softened. I used unsalted butter and added a pinch of salt but salted butter works too.
- Cheese – I used a combination of mozzarella and cheddar cheese but literally any type of shredded cheese works. Feel free to use a blend of fontina, provolone, freshly grated parmesan cheese and etc.
How To Make Step-by-Step
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to 450 degrees F. In a small bowl, combine the unsalted butter, fresh garlic, salt, and fresh parsley. You may use salted butter if you have it on hand. Slice the bread in half using a serrated knife.
Step 2
Spread the butter mixture on the French bread and then finally top it off with mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, and oregano. Place it on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese melts completely.
Top Tips and Flavor Variations
