The Best HOmemade GARLIC BREAD
I can’t think of anything better than warm, cheesy garlic bread coming straight out of the oven. The crispy crust, garlicky butter layer, and melty cheese create an indulgent and delicious side dish or appetizer that absolutely everyone will love! My cheesy garlic bread recipe uses just the right amount of butter to add flavor and moisture, but not make it greasy. Top it off with a good melty cheese like monterey jack cheese along with some high quality parmesan for the best garlic bread ever! Garlic bread is perfect to pair with dinner, pastas and soups, or simply whip this up when you need a savory snack!
INGREDIENTS NEEDED
Loaf of Bread: You can use a loaf of Italian or French bread, or even a homemade loaf of bread if you have the time! Butter: I used unsalted butter since the cheese adds salty flavor, but salted butter will also do the trick. Garlic: Fresh garlic is the secret to absolutely delicious garlic bread! Skip the powder for this recipe! Parsley: Fresh parsley adds a little herby flavor and a pop of color! Monterey Jack Cheese: I love using Monterey jack cheese here, but you can use sharp cheddar cheese or a blend. Parmesan Cheese: Parmesan adds a deeper flavor to this cheesy bread!
HOW TO MAKE CHEESY GARLIC BREAD
TIPS FOR SUCCESS
Let your butter soften! You will want to use room temperature butter to make it easy to mix with other ingredients and spread on the bread! Make it spicy! Add a few dashes of crushed red pepper flakes for a slightly spicy kick! No need to cover the bread! You want that cheese to get super melty and the bread to get toasty, so there is no need to cover the bread. If you see it toasting too quickly, you can cover it with foil if desired. Serve warm! You definitely want to serve this cheesy garlic bread while it is still warm, but be careful slicing it! Wait a few minutes so you don’t burn yourself trying to cut into it.
