Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Here’s a fantastic garlic cheese bread recipe that’ll knock your socks off it’s so good. Hot, cheesy and full of flavor, this loaf of bread an easy recipe to have on hand for soups, chili and salads.
Here’s some reasons to try it!
- People who eat this garlic bread have been known to rave about it for long periods of time. Maybe because the baguette slices are so perfect dunked in soup?
- This toasty cheesy wonder makes any dinner a little more special, and it’s a cinch to make.
- Quick and easy! Thick slices of bread are carefully cut with a serrated knife, then stuffed with a really flavorful garlic butter mixture. So good!
This Cornbread Recipe is another one I like to serve with soups and stews, it’s really tasty and super easy to make in one bowl.
Ingredients You’ll Need
For the full recipe and list of ingredients, please scroll down to the recipe card.
- Bread: A fresh 10″ inch or so bakery loaf is best.
- Garlic: Going to need a few cloves, crushed.
- Green Onion: Thin sliced, white part only.
- Parsley: Italian Parsley is chopped fine for freshness.
- Olive Oil: To smooth out the garlic butter and make it more spreadable.
- Seasonings: Black pepper, kosher salt, plus a splash of hot sauce.
- Butter: Unsalted.
- Cheese: Parmesan, grated.
Step-By Step Instructions
To make the garlic butter, here’s all you do:
- Add the softened butter to a small bowl with the garlic, onion, hot sauce, seasonings, and Parmesan cheese.
2. Stir the mixture – a rubber spatula is the easiest way for this cheesy bread – until everything is combined.
3. Carefully cut slits to make the bread slices almost down to the bottom of the loaf in equal portions, leaving just enough to keep the loaf intact.
4. Scoop a tablespoon or so of the butter mixture in between the cuts of the baguette slices, making sure to smear the inside without tearing the loaf.
5. To bake the loaf, wrap it in parchment paper (like a burrito) and then in foil, pressing the edges of the aluminum foil together to seal everything together before placing it on a baking tray or cookie sheet sheet for 25 minutes.
Remove it from the oven, unfold the wrapping, then back in the oven for about 5 minutes until golden brown. Now it’s ready to eat!
Tips and Possible Variations
- If you aren’t a fan of chunks of garlic, use a garlic press to make the garlic pieces smaller. Use your knife to crush the garlic further if you’d like.
- That said, you can use less than the 3 cloves called for here, or try it with a teaspoon of garlic powder instead of whole garlic.
- I used a 10″ inch fresh bakery loaf for this recipe, so if you’re using larger than this, double the garlic butter mixture.
Serving Ideas
- My favorite way to eat this stuffed garlic bread is with a big bowl of homemade Cherry Tomato Soup or this creamy chicken enchilada soup.
- It’s also perfect with a big bowl of Meatballs in Marinara Sauce, or this (reader favorite) Baked Pasta with Chicken Sausage, this Vegetarian Baked Spaghetti Recipe, and this fantastic Summer Pasta.
- Or just make a big salad instead of dinner, with some garlic bread on the side. Try this very good Blackberry Goat Cheese Salad, or this incredible Roasted Pear Salad, or this fresh & crunchy Kale Salad.
- The perfect dessert would be something light and sweet, like this easy Peach Cobbler with Pie Crust, or Nectarines with Caramel Sauce, or these wonderful Strawberry Cheesecake Bars. So good!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this garlic bread in advance?
Sure can. Just keep in wrapped in the parchment/foil packet in the refrigerator until you’re ready to pop it in the oven. You can make this several hours in advance.
Can I cut down on the garlic in the recipe?
Yes! Try one clove, crushed very well to start. Or use a teaspoon of garlic powder instead of chopped garlic cloves.
What’s the best type of bread to use for this recipe?
A good quality bakery bread loaf that’s about 10 inches long is the best choice. It can be french bread, ciabatta, sourdough, or whatever looks good to you!

Ingredients
- 1 loaf Bakery Loaf of Bread, about 10" Any artisan loaf is good, sourdough or ciabatta
- 1 stick Butter, softened to room temperature
- ⅓ cup Italian Parsley, chopped fine
- 3 cloves Garlic, fresh, crushed and chopped finely
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon Pepper, freshly ground
- ¾ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 Green onions, white part only, finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon Hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425F degrees.
Cut slices down into the bread with a serrated knife, almost to the bottom leaving about an inch to keep the loaf connected without cutting it into individual pieces. The "slits" should be about 2" (inches) each, and you'll be spooning the butter mixture inside each slit.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened butter, the parsley, the garlic, the olive oil, the salt & pepper, the green onions and the hot sauce. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
Using a small spatula or butter knife, scoop a tablespoon to start inside each slit of bread, pushing it down to the bottom without breaking the loaf apart into individual pieces. Repeat until all all the garlic butter is used. Drizzle some olive oil over the top of the loaf.
Gently push the loaf together, then wrap it loosely in a large piece of foil that's been lined with parchment paper (or just use foil). Set it on a large baking sheet and place on lower rack of the oven for 25 minutes.
Remove loaf from the oven and gently open the foil packet, letting it stay open. Put the loaf back in the oven for about 5 minutes to toast the top of the loaf. Remove from oven and enjoy!
