Delicious Garlic Cheese Bread

I really like garlic bread… well lets just face it I love bread… but I really love cheesy bread. After eating some super delicious cheesy bread at an Italian restaurant I wanted to come home and recreate my own version. And that’s just what I did.

This bread has just the right amount of spices and flavors mixed with butter, lots of garlic and topped off with cheese. All of my favorite things in one piece of bread.

Easy cheesy garlic bread, full of flavor.

How to Serve Easy Garlic Cheese Bread

This garlic bread is best when served immediately out of the oven. It is not as good once it has cooled. You can always put it back in the oven on the top rack to heat it up if it cools.

I like to cut each side of my bread up into six pieces. That gives everyone a nice hearty slice to eat.

How to Make Garlic Cheese Bread

This recipe is really simple, but there are a few little tips and tricks I can lend you to get the absolute best garlic bread out there! You can read through my notes here, and get the FULL recipe at the bottom of this post.

Cut the loaf of French bread in half length-wise.
- You will want to get French or Italian bread for this recipe. It will work better than a baguette.
- When cutting the bread in half try to get it cut as evenly as possible so that it will cook evenly in the oven. If one side it higher than another, it will get browned more quickly on the high points.
Mix the butter, salt, garlic, oregano, basil and thyme until throughly combined. Spread the mixture evenly on the bread.
- Make sure your butter is nice and soft for this recipe. If it is not soft it will not combine well and the flavor of the herbs will not infuse through.
Bake at 425 for 5 minutes or until the butter is melted and the edges are starting to brown.
- Use the broil setting on your oven to cook the bread. Broil is different than bake because it uses only the top element at a high heat which keeps the bottom and middle softer on the bread.
- Keep a close eye on the bread. When broiling the oven will get very hot and the bread can go from white to burnt in seconds.
Remove from the oven and top with cheese, return to the oven to cook for another 3 minutes.
Slice and enjoy!!

How to Store Leftover for Cheesy Garlic Bread

Cheesy garlic bread can be stored in an air tight container after it is cooled for up to one week in the refrigerator.

You can reheat the bread by placing it in the oven at 350 degrees for for 5-8 minutes. Do not use the microwave because it will make the bread rubbery.
