I’m going to stray a bit from my usual bread recipes which teach you how to bake bread. This time around, I’ll be sharing a delicious Garlic Cheese Bread Recipe in such a way that it will be ready to share almost immediately.

This will differ from some of my other recipes, because the ingredients are more open to personal preference. What really makes this bread recipe special is the way that you prepare it, so you can use as much as or as little of each ingredient as you would like. I will provide you with a guideline, but feel free to make adjustments to suit your own tastes. For example, if you find that the recipe calls for too much butter and not enough cheese, or vice versa, you know what to do! This garlic cheese bread recipe uses several different types of cheese to draw out as much flavour as possible. If don’t have all, or any of them, feel free to make a substitution for the cheese of your choice. This is true for the bread itself, as well, as you can use whichever kind of bread you prefer.

Suggested Ingredients

1 medium sized loaf of French bread

2 tbsp butter or margarine

2 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp rosemary

1 tsp oregano

1 tsp thyme

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup Havarti cheese

1/4 cup Romano cheese

Preparation Instructions

Preheat your oven to 550 °F. Some ovens don’t heat up to this temperate, in this case just set it to as hot as it goes. A very hot temperature is the trick to having a soft inside with a crunchy outside. Cut your bread in half, and then in half again via the other direction, leaving you with four equal pieces. Spread the butter evenly across each piece of bread. Microwave the bread for about 15 seconds to melt the butter. Spread your cheese across the bread. Now, sprinkle the garlic powder and herbs on top of the cheese. Place the bread in the oven once it’s preheated. It will only take about 8-12 minutes depending on the temperature of your oven. Keep an eye on it! Once the cheese is completely melted and started to bubble around the edges, you’re all done.

It’s that simple! This makes a great addition to many pasta and salad dishes, or a delicious snack all on it’s own. You can prepare this garlic cheese bread recipe quite quickly, and customize it to suit almost anyone’s taste!
