Equipment Needed
For this recipe, you only need a few simple kitchen tools. We recommend using the following equipment:
How to Make Cheesy Garlic Bread
- Preheat oven to 400℉.
- Cover a baking sheet with foil; set aside.
- Cut french bread in half lengthwise and place cut side up on baking sheet.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine softened butter, garlic and Italian seasoning.
- Spread half the garlic butter on each half of bread.
- Sprinkle one cup shredded Mozzarella on each half of the bread.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese begins to turn golden brown.
- Cut into slices and serve.
Recipe Notes
- 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.
