Garlic Bread

Mention the words garlic, butter and bread and I’m totally game for whatever you are going to whip up! Add a good cheese pull like the one above and I’m swooning. Head over heals in love. This Grilled Cheesy Garlic Pull Apart Bread is grilled but you can also bake it in the oven. It’s often affectionately called “Crack Bread”. Essentially Cheese, Garlic and Bread will never, ever lead you in the wrong direction!

Ingredients for Grilled Cheesy Garlic Pull Apart Bread

• Sourdough Bread
• Mozzarella cheese
• Butter
• Salt
• Garlic
• Fresh parsley

I “had” to make this twice to get it just right. Actually I had to make it twice because I screwed up and burnt it the first time. You see, I popped it in the oven and broiled the top to try and melt the cheese better after grilling because I was impatient.

You guys, no worries, this is super simple and you will never have this problem. Only, Julie will. Sometimes I’m not the brightest light bulb.

But, hey, that means EVERYONE can make my recipes!If you haven’t tried “Crack Bread” aka Cheesy Garlic Pull Apart Bread before let me introduce you to your new addiction. Also, you will never be the same. You will want it, crave it, need it forever and ever. It’s epic my friends. The bread is cut into diamond shapes so you can tear bite size pieces off. Take the extra time to stuff the butter and cheese in between the bread. It’s worth it!

Ingredients Needed to Make Pull Apart Garlic Bread

• Sourdough Bread
• Mozzarella cheese
• Butter
• Salt
• Garlic
• Fresh Parsley

How to Make Pull Apart Garlic Bread

Tips for Making Pull Apart Garlic Bread

• Use a “crusty” bread like Sourdough or Vienna bread. It’s holds together better when you pull off pieces.
• Make sure to stuff the cheese and butter throughout the entire loaf of bread.
• Cut bread at a diagonally, but not all the way through the bread.
• Mix things up by adding bacon, pepperoni, ranch dressing, chili etc.!
• Makes a great side dish, pair with a salad and grilled meat or as an appetizer.
• Don’t over look the bottom! It’s the best part. Think butter and cheese dropping all the way down to the bottom plus it’s nice and crispy!

It’s perfectly paired with Caesar Grilled Chicken Breasts, Kebabs, or Easy Smoked Pork Loin.

I love that you can grill a side dish with your main dish on the grill! Throw some veggies in a packet and you have an entire meal on your grill. No need to warm up that kitchen or make a mess.

That’s really why I love grilling. Less mess in my kitchen!

Life goals people. Life Goals.

Pull Apart Garlic Bread

I’m also guessing that as soon as I publish this Grilled Cheesy Garlic Pull Apart Bread my niece is going to be texting me asking when she gets it! You see she’s a carb addict just like me. I mean who isn’t?

My daughters are carb addicts too. When they are asked how many pieces of garlic bread they want for dinner the typical response is FOUR!

Usually they never finish off four pieces, but never say never. They can do it if their minds are set. Did I mention they are five and three years old? That’s right!

If you are looking for a fun new recipe to try on the grill this is the perfect grilled side dish or appetizer.

Young and old alike will be grabbing as much as they can!

Ingredients

• ▢ 1 Loaf Sourdough Bread
• ▢ 1 c. shredded Mozzarella cheese
• ▢ 1/2 c. butter
• ▢ 1/4 tsp salt
• ▢ 4 cloves garlic, minced
• ▢ 1 Tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

• Preheat the grill to 350 F.
• In a small bowl combine the butter, salt and garlic. Melt in microwave. Stir in parsley.
• Cut the sourdough bread on a diaganol into 1 inch diamonds. Do not cut all the way through the bread, similar to a french stick for garlic bread.
• Pry each crack open with your fingers and drizzle in butter, then stuff with cheese. 
• Wrap with foil and place on grill for 15 minutes, or until cheese is mostly melted. Unwrap the top and grill for five more minutes to make the bread crusty on top.
• Serve immediately.

Tips

• This can also be done in the oven. Follow the same directions but bake in the oven at 350 F.
• Use a "crusty" bread like Sourdough or Vienna bread. It's holds together better when you pull off pieces.
• Make sure to stuff the cheese and butter throughout the entire loaf of bread.
• Cut bread at a diagonally, but not all the way through the bread.
• Use a block of cheese and grate it yourself for the best melted cheese.
• Switch things up and use cheddar, Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, Swiss or Fontina cheese.
• You can assemble this up to 4 hours ahead of time making it easy to make for guests.
• Mix things up by adding bacon, pepperoni, ranch dressing, chili etc.!
• Makes a great side dish, pair with a salad and grilled meat or as an appetizer.
• Don't over look the bottom! It's the best part. Think butter and cheese dropping all the way down to the bottom plus it's nice and crispy!

Reheating Leftovers

• Since the bread is a hearty sourdough you can pop it in the microwave to reheat and it shouldn't get to soggy because the bread will stand up to the toppings.
• You can also wrap in foil and pop it in the oven at 350 degrees F for 10-15 minutes to reheat which will make it nice and crispy again.
