Cheesy Garlic Bread
This quick and satisfying cheesy garlic bread recipe transforms a loaf of Italian bread with a rich, herby garlic butter and a generous topping of mozzarella. It takes only 17 minutes from start to finish, making it an ideal accompaniment to pasta dishes or a tasty snack on its own. The bread is first toasted under the broiler before being topped with cheese for a final melt. The result is crispy, flavourful slices with perfectly melted cheese.
