Small Batch Cheesy Garlic Bread Recipe

Step 1

Prep your oven. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 375°F.

Step 2

Slice the bread. Use a serrated knife to slice the bread lengthwise, then crosswise to make 1-inch cubes. Slice only halfway through the loaf and leave the bottom of the loaf intact with the bread cubes still attached.

Step 3

Stuff the bread. Working gently, fill the lengthwise slices with the cheese, then fill the crosswise slices. Place the loaf on a sheet of aluminum foil large enough to cover the bread completely.

Step 4

Drench the bread. Whisk together the melted Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil and Sea Salt, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Use a pastry brush to brush the mixture over the bread, making sure that the butter with olive oil and sea salt seeps into the slices.

Step 5

Bake the bread. Tightly wrap the loaf in aluminum foil and place on a sheet pan. Bake for 35 minutes. Unwrap the loaf and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 6

Serve and store. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Cool any leftover cheesy garlic bread completely, then slice into 1-inch cubes. Place the cubes in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When ready to re-warm and serve, line a sheet pan with aluminum foil and place the bread cubes in the pan. Sprinkle with extra shredded cheese and broil until the cubes are crispy and the cheese is melted and gooey.
