Cheesy Garlic Herb Crack Bread image

Provided by Tessa Arias

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 crusty sourdough or artisan loaf
4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, minced
2 teaspoons fresh thyme, minced
3/4 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Combine the melted butter, garlic, salt, parsley, rosemary, and thyme in a small bowl.
With a serrated bread knife, cut the bread on a diagonal into 1-inch diamonds, being careful not to slice all the way through. Use your fingers to pry open each crack and drizzle with 1 teaspoon of butter and a pinch of the shredded cheese. Don't worry if you make a bit of a mess.
Wrap the entire loaf in foil. To make ahead, place the foil wrapped bread in the fridge overnight or in the freezer for a month, thawing before baking. Place on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese has mostly melted. Carefully remove the foil and continue to bake for another 5 minutes, or until crusty. Serve immediately.

Cheese & Garlic Crack Bread Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by á-1590

Number Of Ingredients 7

GARLIC BUTTER:
1 crusty loaf, preferably sourdough or Vienna
3/4 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese or other melt-able cheese
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
2 garlic cloves, minced
3/8 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Melt butter and then mix in other Garlic Butter ingredients. Cut the bread on a diagonal into 1-inch diamonds, but do not cut all the way through the bread (just like you would cut a french stick for garlic bread). Use your fingers or a knife to pry open each crack and drizzle in a teaspoon of butter and stuff in a pinch of cheese. This might sound like a bit of an effort, but I promise you it is worth it. You don't need to be super neat, it's nice to have some of the butter drizzled over the crust. Wrap with foil and bake for 15 minutes until the cheese has mostly melted, then unwrap and bake for 5 minutes more to make the bread nice and crusty. Serve immediately. MAKE-AHEAD: To make-ahead, after wrapping with foil, wrap with cling wrap as well. Store in fridge overnight or freeze to store for longer. To cook, thaw, then follow recipe instructions to bake. NOTES: The denser the bread, the better the pieces will hold together when pulled off.
