Absolutely! Here’s a recipe for Cheesy Pull-Apart Bread that’s warm, fluffy, and full of melty cheese goodness – perfect just like you described.
Cheesy Pull-Apart Bread
Ingredients:
- 1 loaf crusty bread (like sourdough or Italian), unsliced
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or a mix)
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Optional: red pepper flakes, for a bit of heat
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the bread: Using a serrated knife, cut the bread diagonally into a grid pattern (don’t cut all the way through – leave the bottom intact so the loaf stays together).
- Make garlic butter: In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, parsley, and salt.
- Stuff the bread: Gently open the cuts in the bread and spoon the garlic butter mixture into the cracks. Then stuff shredded cheese into each crack. Be generous!
- Wrap & bake: Wrap the loaf in foil and bake for 15 minutes. Then uncover and bake for another 10–15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and the bread edges are crispy.
- Serve: Pull apart and enjoy warm, melty, cheesy goodness.
