Introduction

There’s something magical about pulling apart a freshly baked loaf of bread, each piece bursting with gooey, melted cheese.

Whether served as an appetizer, side dish, or even as the main event, this cheesy bread is bound to steal the spotlight. Soft, savory, and irresistibly cheesy, it’s a crowd-pleaser that’s as fun to make as it is to eat!

Ingredients:

For 1 loaf (12-16 servings)

• 1 loaf of crusty bread (preferably sourdough or Italian bread)
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 3 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tablespoon garlic powder)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the bread:

• Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
• Slice the loaf of bread into a grid pattern, cutting it in both directions. Be careful not to slice all the way through; leave about 1 inch of the bottom of the loaf intact. This will create “pull-apart” pieces once the bread is baked.
• Place the bread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil to catch any drips.

2. Make the cheesy filling:

• In a medium bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses.
• In a separate small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic (or garlic powder), dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

3. Stuff the bread:

• Gently pull apart the slices of bread, making space to insert the cheese mixture. Using a spoon or your fingers, stuff the cheese mixture into each slit of the bread, making sure each section is well-filled.
• Once all the cheese is inside, pour the melted garlic butter mixture evenly over the top and into the cracks of the bread. Use a brush to spread the butter if necessary, ensuring every piece of bread gets a good soak in the garlic butter.

4. Bake the bread:
