Hey, you guys it’s Friday! Who’s excited? I am!
Did you remember that Father’s day is this Sunday? Oops, don’t worry you still have a few days to find a card, pick up a tie and hunt down a dorky mug for the #1 father figure in your family. Or… you could just make him this super cheesy, garlicky and totally delicious pull apart bread. You know that’s all he really wants anyway.
Not just for dads, this crazy cheesy bread is my new favorite thing. It’s easy and quick to pull together. You can even make this app a day ahead and just pop it in the oven when your dinner guests arrive.
Swap in your favorite cheese, add more garlic or red pepper flakes to amp up the flavor. Pretzel bread? Heck yeah! You get the idea. How ever you mix it up, this Cheesy Pull-Apart Garlic Bread is definitely a crowd pleaser.
I mean just look at that cheese pulling from the loaf. Who doesn’t want to dive face-first into that cheesy mess? I can’t be the only one, right?!
Cheesy Pull-Apart Garlic Bread
This over-the-top pull-apart bread is super cheesy, garlicky and totally delicious! Make it as a side with dinner or as a tasty appetizer.
- Prep Time: 15 mins
- Cook Time: 20 mins
- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Yield: 6 Servings 1x
Ingredients
- 1 loaf (16 ounces) sourdough or italian bread
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 4 ounces shredded swiss & Gruyère cheese blend
- 4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350ºF. Slice a grid pattern into the loaf of bread, leaving about an inch uncut at the bottom of the loaf. Loosely wrap the loaf in foil and bake on a baking sheet for 10 minutes to warm the bread without drying it out.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the butter, garlic and red pepper flakes. Brush the butter mixture in the cuts of the bread.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the cheeses, parsley and green onions. Gently spread apart the bread pieces and tuck the cheese mixture in the cracks as evenly as possible.
- Bake, uncovered 10 to 14 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and light golden brown. Garnish with additional parsley and green onions, if desired. Serve immediately.
