Cheese garlic bread is a delicious treat that combines the savory flavors of garlic, butter, and melted cheese on crispy bread. Here’s a simple recipe to make it:
Ingredients:
- 1 loaf of French bread or Italian bread
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or any cheese of your choice)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the garlic butter: In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Prepare the bread: Slice the loaf of bread in half horizontally, so you have two long pieces. Place them cut side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spread the garlic butter: Spread the garlic butter evenly over the cut sides of the bread.
- Add cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the garlic buttered bread halves. Then, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the mozzarella.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are lightly golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Cut into slices and serve warm.
Enjoy your cheesy, garlicky goodness!
Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic, butter, or cheese according to your taste preferences. You can also add other herbs or spices like oregano or red pepper flakes for an extra kick!
