Why You’ll Love Cheesy Garlic Bread Recipe
My Cheesy Garlic Bread Recipe 🥖 is a cinch to put together and is an absolute hit every time. I love it because it delivers big, bold flavor but doesn’t take a lot of effort or time. I prefer the sweetness of roasted garlic here, but if you’re short on time, you can absolutely use garlic powder or finely minced raw garlic. Whatever you choose, this bread is ooey, gooey, garlicky, 🧀 cheesy and buttery perfection.
How to Prepare Cheesy Garlic Bread Recipe
🌡️ Preheat the oven to 400F (200C). 🧄 Now, take a whole head of garlic and cut off the top so that the garlic is exposed. Add a drizzle of oil. Wrap the head in foil and then roast it in the oven for 35 minutes or until caramelized and soft. 🧈 Let the garlic cool, then squeeze it out of its shell into a bowl and give it a mash with the softened butter, parsley, pinch of salt and grated parmesan. 🥖 Next, take the baguette and make 8 slits with a knife only 3/4 of the way, making sure not to cut all the way through. 🧀 Add a touch of the roasted garlic butter inside each opening and add a piece of cheese into each slit as well. 🖌️ Brush the remaining garlic butter on the top of the bread and roll up the baguettes in foil. 🔥 Bake on a baking sheet in a preheated 400F (200C) oven for 25 minutes or until golden. ⏲️ After 25 minutes, uncover it and optionally bake on broil for about a minute, keeping a close eye on them. Serve warm and enjoy.
