Ingredients
Scale
You won’t need a Michelin star for this one, but you will need these simple ingredients:
- 1 loaf of your favorite bread (baguette, ciabatta, or time-saving sandwich bread)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (because more cheese is always a good idea)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (for that sharp, tangy kick)
- 1/4 cup butter, softened (the secret to golden, luscious bread)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (bring on the flavor!)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional but adds a pop of color)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Making Cheesy Bread is as easy as pie, minus the oven acrobatics. Here are the steps:
- Preheat your oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This is when the magic begins!
- Prepare the bread: Slice your chosen loaf of bread in half horizontally. If you’re using a baguette, slice it down the middle. It’s like giving your bread a fashionable haircut!
- Make the cheesy mixture: In a mixing bowl, blend the softened butter, minced garlic, mozzarella, cheddar, parsley, salt, and pepper until well combined. Your kitchen will now smell like delicious dreams.
- Spread the love: Generously slather the cheesy mixture across both halves of the bread. Make sure to get every nook and cranny—nobody likes a half-hearted cheese effort!
- Bake to perfection: Place the coated bread halves on a baking sheet, cut side up. Bake in your preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the bread is toasted and the cheese is bubbling and golden. This is where it starts smelling like heaven on a rainy day.
- Slice & serve: Once golden and irresistible, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool slightly. Slice into pieces and serve warm. Enjoy every cheesy bite!
Notes
- Cheese substitutions: If mozzarella and cheddar aren’t your favorites, feel free to swap in your preferred varieties. Gouda, pepper jack, or even a sprinkle of blue cheese can take this dish to new heights.
- Make it spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the cheese mixture for a little kick. Who says comfort food can’t be a little adventurous?
- Perfect pairing: This Cheesy Bread goes great with soup or salad. It’s like the best plus-one you could have for dinner.
