Description

Hasselback Cheesy Bread is a pull-apart delight featuring a loaf of crusty bread stuffed with melty cheese, garlic, and herbs. Perfect as a party appetizer or a cozy snack, it’s easy to make and endlessly satisfying!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 large crusty loaf (like sourdough or Italian bread)
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the bread:
    • Place the loaf on a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, cut deep slits into the bread, about 1 inch apart, without cutting all the way through to the bottom. Rotate the loaf 90 degrees and make perpendicular cuts to create a crosshatch pattern.
  3. Mix the garlic butter:
    • In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, parsley (if using), and red pepper flakes (if desired).
  4. Stuff the bread:
    • Gently open the slits in the bread and stuff them with the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese, ensuring even distribution. Use a spoon or brush to drizzle the garlic butter mixture into the slits, coating the bread and cheese.
  5. Bake:
    • Wrap the stuffed bread loosely with aluminum foil to prevent it from drying out. Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
    • Unwrap the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is golden.
  6. Serve:
    • Let the bread cool slightly before serving. Place it on a serving platter and allow guests to pull apart the cheesy, garlicky goodness!



Notes

  • For extra flavor, add cooked bacon bits or sun-dried tomatoes into the slits along with the cheese.
  • This bread is best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven for 5-7 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
