Ingredients

1 c. Italian cheese mix, shredded

4 oz. cream cheese, softened

1 head roasted garlic

1 tsp Maldon sea salt

1 tbsp parsley, coarsely chopped

How to make Cheesy Garlic Bread Spread

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 400 degrees F.

Step 2: Place the butter and cream cheese in a stand mixer and blend.

Step 3: To the butter-cream cheese mixture, add the shredded cheese, roasted garlic, and parsley.

Step 4: Onto each piece of bread, slather the mixture. On a rimmed baking sheet, place the bread. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 to 15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and has melted.

Step 5: Remove from the oven when done, and sprinkle the bread with flaky salt. Into cubes or bread sticks, slice the bread.

Notes:

You can substitute roasted garlic with 1 tsp garlic powder.

For crunchy bread, I recommend pre-toasting the bread in the oven for about 3 to 4 minutes. After the bread has been browned, slather it with the cheese spread.
