This is the best cheesy garlic bread I have ever had, and I’ve tried a few! We love having bread sides with dinner, it’s the perfect way to compliment just about any main meal. (It’s also perfect for dunking in any of my soup recipes!) While I love Classic Garlic Bread, sometimes I’m looking for something a bit more indulgent. This Cheesy Garlic Bread is what we’re after! This homemade garlic bread is the best comfort food for snacking and it’s a perfect appetizer for dinner parties too. Pair it with some marinara, ranch or homemade Homemade Salsa and I don’t need much else 😉 If you love this recipe, you’ll also love my Garlic Herb Dinner Rolls and my Homemade Breadsticks.
Ingredients Needed:
Butter: use salted butter as it has a better flavor for this side dish. If you only have unsalted butter to hand, add a pinch of salt to the butter mixture. Seasoning: freshly chopped garlic cloves and fresh parsley bring so much rich and herby flavor to this garlic bread. Cheese: a combination of Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and cheddar cheese works perfectly for this recipe, but you can use almost any kind! Bread: I love to use French bread that has a crunchy crust with soft bread in the middle. Ciabatta or sourdough would also work great!
How to Make Cheesy Garlic Bread
This homemade garlic cheese bread is quick and easy to make. Full instructions are included in the recipe card below.
Tips and Notes
Real butter. Use real butter for this recipe, not margarine. It just has a better flavor! Room temperature. Softer butter will incorporate more easily with the other ingredients and have a smoother texture. Use fresh ingredients. I recommend using fresh parsley and fresh garlic for the best flavor.
Cheesy Garlic Bread Variations
Mix up the herbs. Feel free to play around with herbs and spices. Try adding other fresh herbs such as rosemary, basil, oregano, or thyme. Use garlic powder as well as fresh garlic for a stronger flavor. Spice it up. Add ground black pepper, some red pepper flakes, or chili powder to the tops of your cheesy garlic bread slices for a bit of heat. Cheese. Use other cheeses like Monterey Jack, Provolone, or even a Mexican Cheese Mix for more flavor!
Serving Suggestions
This cheesy garlic bread is perfect as a side dish to just about any meal, but it will taste wonderful with a tomatoey main dish like this Easy Lasagna, my delicious Baked Ziti, and this reader-favorite One Pot Hamburger Helper dish! Other side dishes that will work well with this garlic bread are my Air Fryer Green Beans, this Air Fryer Broccoli, or Corn on the Cob for some added color!
