PREP TIME: 5 MINS | COOK TIME: 8 MINS | TOTAL TIME: 13 MINS | SERVINGS: 10

INGREDIENTS :

2 cloves garlic, minced
½ c. + 2 tbsp salted butter, softened, divided
10 slices of thick white bread slightly dry
½ c. cheddar cheese, shredded
¼ c. Parmesan cheese, shredded
¼ c. Monterey jack cheese
salt & pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS :

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 375 degrees F.

Step 2: Spread 2 tbsp butter on one side of the bread pieces. On a baking sheet, place the pieces of bread, and butter-side down.

Step 3: In a food processor, place the rest of the butter, garlic, and cheeses. Pulse until incorporated.

Step 4: On the unbuttered side of the bread pieces, spread the mixture. On the middle rack of the preheated oven, place the baking sheet and bake the bread pieces for about 8 to 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted. If you want to brown the cheese, set the oven to broil for 30 to 60 seconds.

Notes:

You can also use a hand mixer instead of a food processor.
For this recipe, you are welcome to use any combination of cheese you’d like. For best results, make sure to use one cheese with bold flavors such as Parmesan.
To make a loaf of cheesy bread, this can be spread on French bread, too.
