Make this ultimate pull-apart cheese bread for your next gathering. It is warm, buttery, and stuffed with melty cheese in every bite, making it an addictive appetizer or side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf crusty bread (sourdough or Italian style)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut the loaf of bread into 1-inch thick slices, cutting almost all the way through but leaving the bottom crust intact so the slices hold together.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the garlic butter.
  4. Carefully brush the garlic butter mixture over the entire loaf, making sure to drizzle some down into the cuts between the slices.
  5. Generously stuff the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese into the cuts of the bread. Press the cheese down gently.
  6. Wrap the entire loaf tightly in aluminum foil.
  7. Bake for 15 minutes while wrapped.
  8. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  9. Let the cheese bread cool for 5 minutes before serving warm as a pull-apart appetizer.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, sprinkle a little grated Parmesan cheese over the top before the final unwrapped bake.
  • You can substitute the cheese blend with Gruyère or Monterey Jack for a different melt.
  • This bread is best served immediately while the cheese is gooey.
