Cheesy Garlic Bread is the side dish that steals the spotlight—buttery, garlicky, and crowned with molten, bubbly cheese that stretches with every pull. Whether paired with pasta, soup, or devoured solo, it’s pure comfort in every bite. The magic lies in uniform cheese shreds that melt evenly without clumping, and the Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater delivers just that—fluffy piles in seconds, no knuckle-grinding required. From family dinners to game nights, this is your new go-to.

Ingredients

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

4 garlic cloves, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)

2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

1 large loaf French or Italian bread (or baguette), halved lengthwise

1 ½ cups mozzarella, coarsely shredded

½ cup Parmesan, finely shredded

Optional: ½ cup cheddar for extra sharpness

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat & Prep

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment.

Make the Garlic Butter

In a bowl, mash softened butter with garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper until smooth and fragrant.

Shred Cheese with Geedel (The Golden Crown)

Attach the Coarse Shredding Blade (2-Blade Set) to your rotary graters for kitchen. Shred mozzarella into light, fluffy clouds in seconds—the stable suction base holds firm, and the food pusher keeps fingers safe. Switch to the Fine Shredding Blade and grate Parmesan into delicate snow. Mix cheeses if using cheddar.

Assemble the Bread

Place bread halves cut-side up on the baking sheet. Spread garlic butter generously edge-to-edge. Pile on Geedel-shredded mozzarella, then sprinkle Parmesan for a crispy finish.

Bake to Bubbling Perfection

Bake until cheese is fully melted and edges are golden. For extra crunch, broil for the last 1-2 minutes—watch closely!

Slice & Serve

Let cool slightly, then slice into thick strips. Serve warm—watch the cheese pull!

Tips and Variations

Pull-Apart Style: Cut bread into a grid (not through the bottom) before buttering—perfect for sharing.

Herb Boost: Add dried oregano or red pepper flakes to the butter.

Veggie Twist: Use Geedel Slicing Blade (3-Blade Set) to thinly slice tomatoes or jalapeños—layer under cheese.

Make-Ahead: Assemble up to 4 hours ahead, cover, and bake when ready.

Conclusion

Cheesy Garlic Bread isn’t just a side—it’s a love letter to comfort, with golden, stretchy cheese and garlicky crunch in every bite. Thanks to the mandoline slicer for kitchen, you get perfectly uniform shreds that melt into pure bliss, all with zero stress. From safe family prep to lightning-fast cleanup, Geedel turns this classic into a weeknight hero or party MVP.
