Cheesy Italian Garlic Bread

From the recipe collection of Tara Ippolito

Cheesy garlic bread is the ultimate comfort food that goes with just about any meal.

This can be served alongside pasta, soup, or enjoyed completely on its own. It’s a great choice for any food scenario.

We’ve even made this as an appetizer for things like football Sunday and everyone loves it. You could always serve it with some warm marinara sauce on the side for dunking, too.

It’s nice and warm and loaded with garlic butter and gooey cheese. How could anyone resist that?!

This recipe is quick and easy to make, too. You can whip it together and have it on the table in no time.

The combination of crispy edges, soft center, and gooey topping makes it a real crowd crowd pleaser for the whole family.

Make this for your family and watch it disappear within minutes. At least, that’s what happens at my house.

My family could eat an entire meal of garlic bread on its own with no questions asked. I almost hesitate to serve it with dinner because I’m afraid that’s the only thing they’ll eat.

I hope you give this recipe a try. If you do, I know you’ll love it just as much as my family and I do.

Cheesy Italian Garlic Bread Variations

I like this garlic bread recipe made just the way it is, but here are some ways to change it up if you’d like to.

• Bread- This recipe can be made with Italian, French or really any kind of loafed bread you can think of.
• Butter- Instead of melting the butter, you can leave it softened and combine it with the garlic.

• Cheese- Feel free to experiment with different cheeses. You really can’t go wrong here.
• Toppings- Add some bacon bits, or chili flakes for some kick.
