Super Easy Cheesy Roasted Garlic Bread
This cheesy, ultra-flavorful, and easy-to-make garlic bread is one of my favorites! Roasted garlic adds a mellow, savory, slightly nutty flavor to the garlic butter, which is slathered all over French bread before being topped with shredded mozzarella and provolone. After broiling for only 5-6 minutes, you'll have cheesy, delicious, ultra-craveable garlic bread. This always goes fast in our house, so consider doubling or tripling the recipe if you're cooking for a larger group.

Equipment (Shop on Amazon)
Ingredients
- ½ large loaf of French bread (I use half a 15" loaf to make two 7-8" long pieces)
- ½ cup salted butter
- 2-3 heads roasted garlic (read how to roast garlic here)
- ½ tsp White Pizza Mojo Seasoning optional
- ¼ tsp garlic powder optional
- 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded provolone and mozzarella blend
Instructions
- Make sure you have roasted garlic ready to use. Read how to roast garlic in your oven here. It will take about 45 minutes to roast the garlic before starting the actual garlic bread. If you will not be using roasted garlic, sub in a couple cloves of fresh pressed garlic and/or additional garlic powder.
- Set your oven to the broiler setting and allow it to preheat. If your oven has the option, choose 'high' or 'maxi broil'. Make sure your oven rack is positioned in the middle of your oven—you don't want to burn the cheese! (See Note 1)
- Make your garlic butter. Add the melted butter, roasted garlic, White Pizza Mojo Seasoning, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese to a medium bowl. Stir until combined, gently pressing the roasted garlic cloves against the side of the bowl as you mix them into the butter.½ cup salted butter, 2-3 heads roasted garlic, ½ tsp White Pizza Mojo Seasoning, ¼ tsp garlic powder, 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese
- Slice your half-loaf of bread lengthwise, like you're about to make a huge sandwich. Place both pieces on a quarter sheet pan cut-side up. Pour half of the garlic butter on each piece of bread. Gently spread it using the back of your spoon until the entire surface of the bread is covered. Sprinkle about a half cup of shredded mozzarella and provolone over the top of each piece of garlic bread (or just measure with your heart, no judgment here).1 cup shredded provolone and mozzarella blend, ½ large loaf of French bread
- Broil the bread for 5-6 minutes, or until the cheese has reached your desired level of browning.
- Remove the garlic bread from the oven. Using a hot pad, move the garlic bread over to a cutting board and slice it into as many pieces as you like. I typically slice each piece into 4-5 smaller pieces, for a total of 8-10 pieces.
- Enjoy your cheesy roasted garlic bread with pasta, soup, or all on its own! This bread is best when eaten straight away.
Notes from the Happy To Be Here Kitchen
Note 1. Broiling: I know you typically broil on the top rack of the oven, but you want to give the cheese a bit of time to melt without it burning so I always place this bread on the middle rack.
