🧄🧀 Garlic Cheese Bread Bliss Recipe

This is the ultimate garlic cheese bread: buttery, garlicky, crispy on the edges, soft in the center, and loaded with melted cheese.

🧺 Ingredients:

• 1 large loaf of French bread, Italian bread, or ciabatta (sliced in half lengthwise)

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

• 4 cloves garlic, minced (or more, if you’re bold)

• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (for extra kick)

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• Optional: 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes or Italian seasoning

• Optional finish: drizzle of olive oil or balsamic glaze

🔥 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven:
   Set to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.

2. Make garlic butter:
   In a small bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and any optional seasonings. Mash it all together until smooth.

3. Prep the bread:
   Place bread halves cut-side up on the baking sheet. Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly across both halves.

4. Add cheese:
   Top with mozzarella, then sprinkle Parmesan evenly over that. Want it extra gooey? Add a little extra mozzarella or provolone.

5. Bake:
   Bake for 10–12 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbling. For a golden top, broil for 1–2 minutes — but watch closely so it doesn’t burn!

6. Slice & serve:
   Let cool for a minute, then slice into thick strips or squares. Optional: drizzle with olive oil or a touch of balsamic glaze.

🧠 Tips for Pure Bliss:

• Add a thin layer of marinara or pesto under the cheese for a flavor twist.

• Use roasted garlic instead of raw for a mellow, sweet garlic flavor.

• Mix in cream cheese or ricotta with the butter for a super-creamy version.
