Cheesy Garlic Bread recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf French or Italian bread
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the bread: Slice the loaf in half horizontally.
  3. Make the garlic butter: Mix softened butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, oregano, salt, pepper, and parsley in a bowl.
  4. Spread the mixture: Evenly spread the garlic butter on both bread halves.
  5. Add cheese: Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan generously over the bread.
  6. Bake: Place bread halves on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  7. Broil (optional): For extra crispiness, broil on high for 1-2 minutes.
  8. Serve: Slice into pieces and enjoy warm!

Want to add a twist? I can suggest some variations — maybe a stuffed version or even a spicy kick with jalapeños.
