This cheese and garlic pull apart bread is absolutely delicious and perfect for any party or Friday night easy meal time. With lots of cheesy goodness you will love this recipe. You can use the bread as a great appetizer or as part of a cheese board.
Is there anything better than a warm slice of cheesy garlic bread? I seriously doubt it. This easy recipe is pretty straight forward. You will need the following simple ingredients at room temperature:
Additionally you could add some fresh parsley to sprinkle over the top if you want.
Once you have the ingredients it is as simple as cutting the bread (the top of the bread) in diagonal slices with a sharp serrated knife. You don’t want to cut all the way through. Make sure to have about half an inch where the bread is still attached. Place it on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Take a small sauce pan and combine the butter, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Melt the butter and mix it with the other ingredients creating a garlic butter. Now using a pastry brush spread the garlic herb butter mixture over the soft bread. Making sure to also add some of it in between the cubes.
Melting the butter gives the best results but you could also use softened butter and mix the garlic and seasoning into the butter. Melting is just easier and it also makes sure that the melted butter is easier to distribute.
Once you’ve mixed the cheeses together you place the cheese in between the bread cubes. Make sure to do this carefully as you do not want to break the bread.
Now bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and melted. Serve right away! This is a perfect side dish or perfect appetizer but does need to be served hot (unless you want the melted cheese of course). This cheesy pull apart garlic bread is just the best there is!
Sure you can buy garlicky bread in the grocery stores but it is just not the same as making your own. And it can’t be much easier.

Yes you can replace the butter for olive oil. I like to use butter as it tends to brown better in the oven and also gives it better crispy edges, but you can absolutely replace butter for olive oil. If you do use olive oil there is no need for melting the butter obviously so the mixing can be done in a small bowl instead.
Yes you can. As long as the bread is small enough to fit in the air fryer basket you should be good to go.
You can prepare the bread up to the point where it is ready to be placed in the oven. Cover it with plastic wrap and store in the fridge until you’re ready to bake the bread. It’s also great for using up leftover bread.
If you want you can use something like pizza dough to make this bread as well. You make small dough balls and place them together in a ring or a bundt pan. Now generously spread the butter over the dough and add the cheese.
You could even sprinkle over some pizza sauce if you want to. If necessary let the dough rise in a warm place before placing in the oven. You can also use crescent rolls for doing the same. If I use fresh dough I use the ones you can buy in a can. Make sure to check the package instructions for how to make these.
