How to make it
Ingredients
Step 1: Prepare the Roasted Garlic
Preheat your outdoor grill to indirect heat at around 400°F (200°C). You can also use your kitchen oven to roast the garlic.
Cut the top off the garlic bulb to expose the cloves.
Place the garlic bulb on foil drizzle the exposed cloves with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Wrap tightly in foil.
Grill for about 40 minutes until garlic cloves are soft and caramelized. Allow to cool.
Step 2: Prepare the Cheesy Garlic Spread
Once cooled, squeeze the cloves into a small bowl.
Mash the garlic cloves with a fork until you achieve a smooth paste.
Mix the mashed garlic with the melted butter. You want to let it sit for a few minutes so the garlic and butter resemble a paste-like consistency.
Step 3: Assemble & Bake the Garlic Bread
Slice the three rolls in half (horizontally) and place them on a baking sheet. I love using Kaiser rolls for this recipe because their sturdy texture holds up to the layers of garlic butter and melted cheese. The rolls’ slightly crusty exterior and soft, airy interior create the perfect balance of crunch and softness.
Divide the garlic butter mixture between the slices (just a dash over half a tablespoon on each side).
Use a brush to spread the garlic butter mixture over all the slices.
Sprinkle with mozzarella cheddar cheese mix and finish with dried oregano.
Preheat your oven to 380°F (190°C). Set the oven rack in the lowest position in your oven. Baking on the lower rack at this temperature ensures the bread gets a perfectly crispy bottom while allowing the cheese to melt evenly – without burning.
Step 4: Bake, Garnish & Serve
Bake the garlic bread in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are crispy. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve hot as a delicious side dish or appetizer.
