Easy and super cheesy garlic bread can be served as an accompaniment or as a dish all on its own!
I ask you, is there anything better than a good piece of garlic bread? YES! There’s regular garlic bread, and then there’s THIS Cheesy Garlic Bread. Soft on the inside, CRISPY on the edges, with the perfect cheese/butter/garlic ratio.
HOMEMADE GARLIC BREAD
Here we have the BEST cheesy garlic bread you will try in this lifetime. The perfect amount of garlic and butter together gets smeared all over your bread before anything else hits it.
Then, a faultless blend of two cheese: mozzarella and parmesan, is sprinkled all over the top.
So easy and super quick to throw together.
HOW TO MAKE THE BEST GARLIC BREAD
Now, I normally make our Garlic Bread in single serve quantities using regular sourdough slices, only because its what we usually have on hand.
Spread the garlic butter mixture over both halves of bread, covering the entire surface right to the edges. Top with two types of cheeses, sprinkle with dried parsley and bake.
HOW TO MAKE GARLIC BUTTER
MIX softened butter with garlic, parsley and salt. You can also use our garlic butter recipe here.
DO I NEED TO WRAP CHEESY GARLIC BREAD IN FOIL?
For crispy bread on the outside and soft, tender bread on the inside, do not wrap in foil. However, if you like soft bread all over, you can wrap your Cheesy Garlic Bread in foil.
So much buttery goodness! ↘︎
Serve with Beef Bourguignon, Garlic Butter Mushrooms, Tomato Basil Soup, or anything really!

I’ve tried many garlic bread recipes in the past with most of them being failures, but this one knocked it out of the park!! It reminded me a lot Texas Toast garlic bread which is exactly what I wanted. Everyone at dinner loved it!

Imo, these are a little too good. I accidentally mixed a bit of shredded mozzerella into the paste which I spread on both sides of the bread, which crisped the bottom. 🙂

yeah this bread wasn’t to bad, probably could do with a tad more garlic but that comes down to personal preference, ( or it was the garlic paste i used not sure).

So when I saw this I just had to try it, looked too good. Made some French bread first attempt at that as well and went ahead with this. It was amazing and on point, barely five minutes and my tray of two portions were all eaten up and everyone was full of smiles. Thank you ☺️ everyone give it a try

Made this last night to go with the Balsamic Baked Chicken Breasts. Yet another big hit! My wife is starting to think that I know what I’m doing in the kitchen, thanks to Karina.
