*CHEESY GARLIC BREAD*


This cheesy garlic bread is hands-down my ultimate garlic bread. It's pretty much a meal in itself. Serve it with some marinara sauce and you have an amazing appetizer.

1/2 cup butter, softened to room temp.
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 1/2-2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 loaf italian or french bread
dried parsley flakes (optional)

Preheat oven to 375.
Cut loaf in half lengthwise, and put one half on baking sheet.
(This recipe is for half a loaf.)
In a small bowl combined softened butter with minced garlic. Stir well.
In another bowl, combine shredded mozzarella cheese with mayonnaise. It's a bit glumpy (very technical cooking term there). Just do your best to combine them together with a spoon.
Spread butter/garlic mixture on loaf.
Next, spread cheese/mayo mixture on top.
I find it easiest to do this part with my hands.
Sprinkle with some dried parsley flakes for a bit of color. This part is optional.
Bake in 375F degree oven for about 12-15 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Cut into slices and serve.
If you like, serve it with a little marinara dipping sauce and dig in!
