Ultimate Garlic Butter Cheese Delight
A comforting dish combining the rich flavors of garlic and cheese, perfect for any gathering or cozy evening.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 oz 8 oz of your favorite cheese (Cheddar, Mozzarella, or a blend)
- 4 tbsp 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 5 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (or your herb of choice)
- 1 cup 1 cup of bread crumbs (optional for topping)
- 1/2 cup 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for that extra cheeziness!)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the melted garlic butter with the chosen cheese, salt, and pepper. If using parsley, mix it in.
- Pour the cheesy mixture into a greased baking dish and spread evenly.
- If desired, sprinkle breadcrumbs on top followed by grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top.
- Remove from oven and let it cool briefly before serving warm.
Notes
For variations, consider using different herbs like thyme or rosemary. Keep an eye on the baking time as ovens may vary. Add more cheese if you prefer a chewier texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days or freeze for up to a month.
