How to make Cheesy Garlic Bread:

Don’t let that fool you into thinking it isn’t delicious, because this Easy Cheesy Garlic Bread is always gobbled up within minutes whenever we make it.
Start by cutting a loaf of French bread in half lengthwise. Try to cut down the center as best as you can to make sure that each side is equal in thickness.
Place the bread cut side up on a baking sheet lined with foil.
Next, to make the homemade garlic butter simply combine softened butter, Italian seasoning and minced garlic.
Spread the garlic butter evenly between the two halves of French bread.
Sprinkle a cup of shredded mozzarella on top of each half of the bread.
Bake at 400 degrees F. for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheesy starts to get a little golden brown.
Remove from oven, cut into slices and serve.
Tips and tricks for homemade garlic bread:
- If you prefer a softer garlic bread, wrap each half of the bread in foil before baking. This will help the crust and inside of the bread stay soft and avoid getting crisp.
- If you prefer a crustier garlic bread, bake your garlic bread uncovered and then broil on high for 1-2 minutes after baking.
