Garlic Herb and Cheese Pull-Apart Bread Recipe

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces calories while maintaining stretchiness.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free alternative with a cheesy flavor.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Slice the bread loaf horizontally and vertically to create a grid pattern without cutting all the way through.

Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.

Add minced garlic, parsley, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper to the melted butter; stir to combine.

Brush the garlic herb butter mixture generously between the slices of bread.

Stuff shredded mozzarella cheese and grated parmesan cheese into the cuts of the bread.

Drizzle olive oil over the top of the bread.

Sprinkle red pepper flakes on top for added heat, if desired.

Wrap the bread in aluminum foil and place it on a baking sheet.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread is warm.

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the top is golden brown.

Let cool slightly before serving; pull apart to enjoy.
