Description

Indulge in the irresistible flavors of Cunetto’s Garlic Cheese Bread – a timeless classic with savory garlic butter and gooey, melted cheese. Perfect as an appetizer or side dish, this easy-to-follow recipe guarantees a delicious outcome every time!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf of Italian bread, sliced lengthwise
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the loaf of Italian bread lengthwise to create two long halves.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
  3. Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the Italian bread. Ensure that every nook and cranny is coated.
  4. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the garlic butter-covered bread. Place the bread on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are golden brown.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor.
  • Make sure your butter is softened for easy spreading.
  • Don’t skimp on the cheese! A generous layer is key.
  • For an extra crispy crust, broil for the last minute, but watch carefully to avoid burning.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley for added flavor and visual appeal.
