Garlic Bread Revisited
Crispy, crunchy garlic bread stuffed with melted mozzarella cheese. Made with fresh garlic butter and a rosemary herb bread, finished with a quick broil for perfect golden cheese.
Servings: 6 slices
Ingredients
- 1 round of rosemary herb bread
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup spreadable butter
- 8 slices mozzarella cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Finely mince garlic using a microplane. Add spreadable butter to a bowl with salt and pepper.
- Mix until garlic is completely incorporated into the butter.
- Cut the bread round into slices, cutting about 90% of the way through but not all the way through.
- Slather the inside of each slice with the garlic butter.
- Place mozzarella cheese slices into the cuts in the bread. Break cheese slices in half if needed. It's fine if cheese sticks out the top.
- Place the bread round on a cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes at 400°F.
- Switch oven to broil and place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until cheese bubbles and turns brown.
- Remove from oven, break at the cuts, and serve immediately.
Notes
Using a microplane grater makes mincing garlic very easy and gives a fine texture. The key to this recipe is not cutting all the way through the bread so it stays together while serving. Fresh rosemary herb bread works best for flavor.
