Homemade Cheesy Garlic Bread
This easy and delicious cheesy garlic bread is the ultimate comfort food. A crusty French loaf is smothered in a savory garlic butter spread and topped with a generous trio of melted cheeses, then baked to golden-brown perfection.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread
- 1/2 cup salted butter (softened)
- 4-5 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prep bread: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Carefully slice the loaf of French bread in half lengthwise and place both halves cut-side up on a large baking sheet.
- Make garlic butter: In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup of softened butter, 4-5 minced garlic cloves, and 2 tbsp of chopped parsley. Mix everything until it is creamy and well combined.
- Spread on bread: Generously spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over both halves of the bread. Make sure you cover the entire surface, reaching all the way to the crusty edges.
- Top with cheese: Sprinkle 1/2 cup mozzarella, 1/2 cup cheddar, and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese over the buttered bread. Feel free to add a little extra if you love cheese!
- Bake until golden: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. The bread is done when the cheese is bubbly and beautifully melted with golden-brown spots.
Notes
- Using freshly shredded cheese will give you the best melt.
- Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper for some heat.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
- Reheat in the oven to get that lovely crispy texture back.
- Serve this warm right out of the oven for gooey perfection.
