Cheesy Garlic Bread is the ultimate side dish—crispy, buttery, and loaded with melted cheese. Made with a fresh baguette, garlic butter, and a blend of mozzarella and Parmesan, it’s ready in under 15 minutes and perfect for pasta nights, soups, or parties.
Preheat and Prepare
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, and salt. Mix well.
Prepare the Bread
Slice the baguette in half lengthwise. Place cut-side up on the baking sheet. Spread garlic butter evenly over both halves.
Add Cheese
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over both halves, followed by Parmesan cheese.
Bake
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the butter is melted and the edges are golden. For a bubbly, browned top, switch to broil for the last 1 to 2 minutes.
Serve
Slice and serve warm with marinara sauce if desired.
