Bake in a preheated oven at 400F for 5-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Sprinkle evenly with cheese and parsley.

For full list of ingredients and instructions, see recipe card below. How To Prep Ahead This garlic cheese bread is best enjoyed fresh, so we recommend preparing it just before serving. However, you can prepare the garlic butter mixture in advance. Prep Garlic Butter Mixture: Combine the crushed garlic, garlic powder, butter, and oil in a saucepan, heat over low until incorporated, and then let it cool. Store it in the fridge and when you’re ready to make the bread, reheat it again before using. Garlic Cheese Bread is ideal for rounding out a meal or as a satisfying snack all on its own. What To Serve With Easiest Garlic Cheese Bread Pasta This cheesy garlic bread is perfect for dunkin’ into a big bowl of spaghetti. We especially love it with Creamy Bruschetta Pasta and Spaghetti Alla Carbonara. It’s also a great side for a hearty pasta dish. Try it with our Creamy Tomato and Sausage Pasta for a comforting family meal. Salads This bread is a great addition to any Italian-inspired meal. We love serving it with a fresh Caprese Pasta Salad or a crunchy Summer Italian Pasta Salad. It’s also a great side for a picnic or potluck. Pack it up with a delicious Tortellini Pasta Salad and watch it disappear. Soups Cheese and garlic bread is a classic accompaniment to a bowl of piping hot soup. We recommend trying it with a hearty Minestrone Soup or a cozy Stuffed Pepper Soup. It’s also great for soaking up the broth in a bowl of Lentil Soup or your favorite vegetable soup. Commonly Asked Questions What type of bread should I use for this recipe? You’ll want to use a hearty, thick loaf of crusty bread for this recipe. A rustic Italian or French loaf works best. How do I know when the bread is done baking? The bread is done when it turns lightly golden after baking in a preheated oven at 400F for 5-10 minutes. What kind of cheese is recommended for this garlic cheese bread? We recommend using Italian blend cheese, as it already combines mozzarella and parmesan together. You can certainly shred those cheeses separately or try tasty alternatives such as gruyére, provolone, or cheddar. How long does this garlic cheese bread keep? This bread is best enjoyed fresh, right out of the oven. It is best not to keep it for longer than a day, and it’s so delicious that it gets devoured quickly.

Notes For the best results, use a thick, crusty loaf of bread like a rustic Italian or French loaf. The texture and density of this type of bread hold up well to the garlic butter and cheese.  Fresh garlic is key in this recipe. Don’t be tempted to use pre-minced garlic from a jar; the flavor won’t be as fresh.  Crushing the garlic rather than mincing it gives the bread a more intense and rustic garlic flavor. This also prevents the garlic from burning in the oven, as larger pieces can withstand the heat better. This cheesy garlic bread is perfect for dunking into a big bowl of spaghetti, like some Creamy Bruschetta Pasta and Spaghetti Carbonara.

On Wednesday, a Boeing 767 cargo plane operated by FedEx made an emergency landing at Istanbul Airport after its front landing gear failed. Dramatic video showed the nose of the plane skidding across the runway as it came to a halt. And just this morning, shocking footage emerged showing the moment terrified passengers fled a burning Boeing 737-300 jet carrying 78 passengers that skidded off the runway and caught fire during take-off in Senegal. There is no suggestion Boeing are to blame for the crashes, and the cause of the Senegal crash is not yet known. But the incidents will only compound woes for the company which is already facing intense scrutiny amid a string of mishaps and controversy over safety concerns - as well as the deaths of two whistleblowers just two months apart.
