Open in Pepper →Garlic Bread Makes The Whole Dinner
A loaf of bread, a stick of butter and a few cloves of garlic can turn plain spaghetti night into something the kids ask for again. It's cheap, it's fast, and it comes out of the oven pulling apart in strings of melted cheese.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection when dinner needs one more thing on the table — soup night, pasta night, or a Friday when garlic bread piled with cheese is the whole meal.
Every recipe here is built on bread and butter: Hasselback Cheesy Garlic Bread scored and stuffed, Crescent Roll Cheesy Garlic Bread for pull-apart pieces, a Cheesy Garlic Bread Shrimp Grilled Cheese, a Cheesy Ravioli Bake with garlic bread on the side, and a low-carb tortilla version.
Quick Tips
- 1
Soften the butter first
Let butter sit out 30 minutes so it spreads into the bread instead of tearing it. Mash the minced garlic right into it.
- 2
Broil for the last minute
Bake at 400°F until the cheese melts, then broil 1 to 2 minutes for browned, bubbly spots. Stay at the oven door — it goes fast.
- 3
Add mayonnaise to the spread
A tablespoon or two of mayo mixed with the butter keeps the top creamy and helps it brown evenly.
- 4
Cut before you bake
Score the loaf almost through in 1-inch slices so the cheese melts down into every cut and it pulls apart at the table.
