🔥 Cheesy Garlic Pull-Apart Bread
Loved this recipe! Whenever they come out of the oven, everyone magically appears in the kitchen. The smell alone is enough to make people hover. Golden on the outside, soft on the inside, and loaded with melty cheese and buttery garlic goodness — this one never lasts long.
🛒 Ingredients
1 large loaf of crusty bread (Italian or sourdough works best)
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes
👩🍳 Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Using a sharp knife, slice the bread in a crisscross pattern, being careful not to cut all the way through.
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Gently pull open the cuts and spoon the garlic butter mixture deep into the bread.
Stuff cheese evenly into the cracks, making sure it gets all the way down.
Wrap the loaf loosely in foil and bake for 15 minutes.
Uncover and bake an additional 10–15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot.
💡 Tips
Add cooked bacon bits or pepperoni for a heartier version
Swap in garlic herb butter for extra flavor
Best served immediately — this disappears fast!
