Olive oil, for drizzling
2 large garlic cloves, halved lengthwise
1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh basil and garlic. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use 1 tablespoon of dried basil, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can mince the basil and garlic by hand. Just be sure to chop them very finely.
  • You can use any type of cheese that you like in this recipe. Mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan are all good options.
  • If you want a crispy crust, brush the bread with olive oil before baking.
  • Be careful not to overcook the bread. It should be golden brown on top and cooked through in the center.

Conclusion:

Basil garlic cheese bread is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. It's perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a casual snack. With its combination of fresh basil, garlic, and cheese, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
