4-Ingredient Cheesy Garlic Pull-Apart Loaf

Prep time: 5 mins | Bake time: 15 mins | Serves: 4-6

1 Loaf of crusty bread (like Sourdough or a French baguette)
1/2 cup Unsalted butter, melted
3-4 cloves Garlic, finely minced
1 1/2 cups Shredded cheese (Mozzarella or Monterey Jack work best for the pull)
Optional: Fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color.

Prep and Slice: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Using a serrated knife, cut the bread in a grid pattern (lengthwise and crosswise) about 1 inch apart. Be sure to cut deep, but do not cut through the bottom crust, as the base needs to hold everything together.
Infuse with Flavor: In a small bowl, mix your minced garlic into the melted butter. Use a pastry brush or a spoon to drizzle this golden mixture into all the cracks of the bread, ensuring the garlic is evenly distributed.
Stuff and Bake: Generously stuff the shredded cheese into the crevices. Wrap the loaf loosely in foil and bake for 10 minutes. Then, open the foil and bake for another 5 minutes (or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden).

Speed: It takes only a few minutes to assemble but looks like it came from a professional bakery.
Customization: You can easily swap the garlic for Italian seasoning or add red pepper flakes for a little warmth.
Texture: The combination of the crunchy crust and the soft, cheesy interior makes it the perfect side dish for any meal.
