Garlic Herb and Cheese Bread Recipe
Soft, cheesy, and full of flavor — this Garlic Herb and Cheese Bread Recipe is a true treat for bread lovers. It’s golden, warm, and smells amazing as it bakes.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread or Italian bread
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line your baking tray with parchment paper.
Prepare the Bread
- Cut the bread loaf in half lengthwise. Place both halves on the tray with the cut side facing up.
Make Garlic Butter Mix
- In a bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, garlic powder, and salt. Stir well.
Spread and Add Cheese
- Brush the garlic butter mix evenly over the bread halves. Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan cheese on top. Make sure every bite gets some cheese!
Bake the Bread
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. For a crispier top, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end.
Serve Warm
- Let the bread cool slightly, slice it, and serve warm. It’s perfect with pasta, salad, or soup.
Notes
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor.
- Mix different cheeses for richer taste.
- Don’t overbake — the bread should stay soft inside.
- Add chili flakes for a spicy touch.
- Use leftover bread to make mini garlic toasts.
