Best Easy Cheesy Garlic Bread Recipe

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) with the rack in the center position.

Cut the French bread loaf in half lengthwise and place both halves, cut side up, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

In a bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, kosher salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture onto the cut sides of the bread, ensuring full coverage to the edges.

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese evenly over the buttered bread halves.

Bake for 10–12 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling, then broil for 1–2 minutes for deep golden spots—watch closely to avoid burning.

Remove from the oven, let rest for 2–3 minutes to set the cheese, then slice and serve warm.
