Cheesy Garlic Bread

Sharing is caring!

Homemade cheesy garlic bread is perfect with pasta. We eat a lot of different pasta dishes for dinner and this pairs perfectly to soak up some sauce. I make mine with sourdough french bread but any firm loaf bread would work.

To make cheesy garlic bread you will need bread, butter, garlic, salt and cheese. Sometimes I change up how I combine these items. I will use garlic salt with unsalted butter or salted butter with fresh garlic. The best way to make cheesy garlic bread is with fresh garlic. Shredded mozzarella is nice but I have also used a mix of parmesan and mozzarella.

First preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Then mince 4-5 cloves of garlic to make about 2 tablespoons.

Melt 1/2 stick of salted butter and mix in the minced garlic.

Place a loaf of french bread onto a parchment lined baking sheet. I use my sourdough french bread.

Cut the loaf lengthways for 2 loaves of cheesy garlic bread. Then cut each loaf into 1 inch slices without cutting completely through. This will help keep it together while you butter it.

Next brush the garlic butter on the top and bottom of the bread. Flip over and brush garlic butter in-between the 1 inch slices and soak the bread well.

Lastly cover the tops of each loaf with about 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.

Bake for 15 minutes until melted and golden.

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Mince 4-5 cloves of garlic for about 2 tablespoons.
3. Melt 1/2 stick or 4 tablespoons of salted butter.
4. Add garlic to melted butter.
5. Place french bread on parchment lined baking sheet.
6. Cut french bread lengthways and then into 1 inch slices without completely breaking it off the loaf.
7. Brush garlic butter all over the crust sides and middle pieces of french bread, making sure to get in-between the 1 inch slices.
8. Top bread with mozzarella until covered.
9. Bake for 15 minutes or until cheese is golden and melted.
