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.

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!

Sounds delicious I am possibly making this tonight. I do not like the idea of foil nowadays the foil sticks to the food and you end up eating it, Yuk! going to try Parchment paper in the oven.
