Cheesy Pull-Apart Bread is a warm and gooey appetizer made with crusty bread stuffed with melted cheese, garlic butter, and savory seasonings. Crispy on the outside and soft inside, this shareable dish is perfect for parties, game nights, and family gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 1 large round loaf of crusty bread
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place the loaf of bread on a cutting board and slice it in a crisscross pattern without cutting all the way through the bottom.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, and black pepper.
  4. Gently open the bread cuts and drizzle the butter mixture throughout the loaf.
  5. Stuff the mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly into all the cuts in the bread.
  6. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top.
  7. Wrap the bread loosely in foil and place it on a baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 15 minutes covered, then uncover and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Serve warm while the cheese is still stretchy and gooey.

Notes

  • Add cooked bacon bits or pepperoni for extra flavor.
  • Monterey Jack, Gruyère, or provolone can be used for different cheese variations.
  • Add jalapeños or chili flakes for a spicy version.
  • Fresh rosemary or thyme adds extra herb flavor.
  • Brush with extra garlic butter after baking for added richness.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat wrapped in foil in the oven to keep the bread crispy.
