The Best Cheesy Garlic Bread
This decadent, delicious cheesy garlic bread is made with a crusty loaf of bread, plenty of butter, cheese, fresh herbs and more!
Ingredients
- *RECIPE NOTE: Different breads have different surface areas. If you have to spread the butter mixture very thin over the bread, make more of the mixture!
- 1 lb Italian, French, or sourdough loaf of bread I look for a flatter loaf, like a batard, for the best flavor
- 1 stick butter, room temperature
- 2 tablespoon mayonaisse yes, really! I promise it makes all the difference
- 2 tablespoon freshly grated parmesan
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh Italian parsley minced
- 1 tablespoon frech chives minced
- salt and pepper, to taste
- optional: red pepper flakes to taste
- 1 cup mozzarella shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven on broil with a rack ~6" from heat
- In a medium bowl, mix together the butter, mayo, parmesan, garlic, herbs, salt and pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Slice the bread horizontally. Spread butter mixture evenly over bread, then sprinkle mozzarella over butter mixture.
- Place in the oven on a baking sheet and watch closely. Remove when cheese is bubbling and golden, about 3-5 minutes.
- Remove and enjoy! (Pro tip: Sprinkle some of the chopped fresh herbs on the bread for a prettier presentation)
