Ooey, gooey, and garlicky, it doesn’t get much better than this Country Garlic Cheese Bread.

Country Garlic Cheese Bread

Cheese Bread is a family staple around here.  This particular recipe is one of my favorites.  With only 5 ingredients and very little prep work involved, country garlic cheese bread can be whipped together in time for any gathering!   All you need is a french loaf, some olive oil, garlic powder, loads of mozzarella and some parsley for garnish.   It is so simple and so delicious.  We like to serve it up with a side of marinara.  It is a perfect treat or small meal on its own!  We also serve this up whenever we make any kind of pasta.  This bread is perfect for grabbing that last bit of sauce to clean your plate at the end of a hearty meal.

Just look at all of that glorious melted cheese!  The flavors of the garlic and the cheese blend together for a perfectly delicious side dish!  The crispy edge of the french loaf is my favorite.  I am well known in my household for grabbing the end pieces before anyone else can snatch them up.

A friend of mine makes this recipe and she uses a few different kinds of cheese in addition to the mozzarella.  If you like a little cheddar mixed it, go for it.  This is an adaptable side dish.
