Learn how to make delicious Classic Cheesy Garlic Bread RECIPE. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf of French or Italian bread
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes for a hint of spice

If you’re out of mozzarella, feel free to substitute with any melty cheese you have on hand. My abuela taught me that cooking is about improvisation and trusting your palate, so don’t be afraid to experiment!

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Slice the loaf of bread in half horizontally and place both halves cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, dried oregano, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread. Be generous; the more butter, the better!
  5. Top each half with a layer of mozzarella cheese, followed by a sprinkle of Parmesan. If you’re using red pepper flakes, add them now for a bit of heat.
  6. 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.
  7. For an extra crispy top, switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing into servings. Enjoy the irresistible aroma and cheesy goodness!

One tip I picked up from my abuela: always taste as you go. Adjust the seasoning to your liking, and remember, the best recipes are those made with love and a bit of personal flair.
