A straightforward recipe for making sliced garlic bread topped with a blend of melted cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf Italian or French bread (about 12 inches long)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until you have a uniform garlic butter.
  3. Slice the loaf of bread crosswise into 1-inch thick slices, cutting almost all the way through but leaving the bottom crust intact to hold the slices together.
  4. Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut surfaces of the bread slices, ensuring butter gets into the crevices.
  5. In a separate bowl, toss together the mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses.
  6. Sprinkle the cheese mixture generously over the top of the buttered bread slices.
  7. Wrap the entire loaf loosely in the aluminum foil.
  8. Bake for 15 minutes wrapped in foil to allow the bread to warm through and the butter to melt.
  9. Unwrap the foil and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and lightly golden brown on top.
  10. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 2 minutes before slicing completely and serving.

Notes

  • Use a sturdy loaf like Italian bread for the best structure when slicing.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture.
  • If you prefer a softer interior, bake wrapped in foil for the entire cooking time.
