The Best Cheesy Bread Recipe
This Cheesy Bread is a must-try! Bursting with gooey fontina and asiago cheese, it's the ultimate comfort food for any occasion.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 sticks unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic finely grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley finely minced
- 1 large loaf fresh baked bread
- 2 cups shredded fontina cheese
- 1 cup shredded asiago cheese
- Coarse salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by melting the 2 sticks of unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and add the finely grated garlic cloves and the minced fresh parsley. Mix until well combined.
- Take your large loaf of fresh-baked bread and slice it in half lengthwise. You can also opt to slice it into smaller pieces for individual servings if you prefer.
- Using a spatula, generously spread the garlic butter mixture on the cut sides of the bread. Make sure to cover every inch for maximum flavor!
- Sprinkle the shredded fontina cheese evenly over the buttered sides of the bread, followed by the asiago cheese. Feel free to mix and match the cheeses to your liking, but this combination is truly divine.
- Finally, sprinkle coarse salt and fresh cracked pepper over the cheesy layers. This enhances the flavors and adds a little extra kick.
- Place the prepared bread halves on a baking sheet and transfer them to the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the bread are golden brown.
- Remove the cheesy bread from the oven and let it cool for a minute before slicing into portions. Serve warm and watch it disappear!

Notes
