This 5 Minute Cheesy Garlic Bread is the ideal simple side to whip up to go with all manner of meals, from pasta to barbecue. Use a baguette or whatever bread you like and melted cheese is an optional addition!
Ingredients
- 80 g unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp freshly minced garlic
- 1 tbsp finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1 tsp sea salt flakes
- 1 baguette, cut into thick 1.5 cm (½ inch) slices
- 225 g grated melting cheese (see note 1) (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the grill (broiler) – Preheat the oven grill.
- Make the garlic butter – Melt the butter in 10-second intervals in the microwave until it softens (it will take roughly 20 seconds).
- Mix in the garlic, parsley and salt using a spoon.
- Spread the butter on the bread – Spread the butter mixture on one side of the bread slices.
- Add the cheese – Top each slice with the grated cheese, if using.
- Grill (broil) – Place your bread on a baking tray (use two trays if needed so that no pieces overlap). Grill for 2–5 minutes. The bread will cook quickly so keep an eye on it.
- Serve – Serve immediately.
Notes
Note 1 – Mozzarella or cheddar is best. Pre-shredded cheese can be used but contains additives, so it doesn’t melt as well as freshly grated cheese.
