Cheesy Garlic Bread Recipe (Using 100g of Grated Hard Mozzarella)
Ingredients:
-
1 baguette or French bread (or any bread you prefer)
-
100g grated hard mozzarella cheese
-
2-3 tbsp butter (melted)
-
2-3 cloves garlic (minced)
-
1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
-
½ tsp dried oregano (optional)
-
Salt to taste
-
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Prepare the Bread: Slice the baguette (or your preferred bread) in half lengthwise. If the bread is very thick, you can slice it into individual pieces for a more rustic, personal serving.
-
Make the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until combined.
-
Spread the Garlic Butter: Generously spread the garlic butter mixture on both halves of the bread. Be sure to cover the surface evenly.
-
Add Mozzarella: Sprinkle the grated hard mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the buttered bread. If you’re using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle that on top too for an extra cheesy flavor.
-
Bake: Place the bread halves on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are golden brown.
-
Serve: Once it’s done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Slice it into individual pieces and serve warm!
Tips:
-
For an extra crispy crust, broil the bread for an additional 1-2 minutes after baking. Keep a close eye on it to avoid burning.
-
You can add chopped tomatoes or bacon bits on top for extra flavor.
