Make your own cheesy garlic bread to freeze for future dinners! Fresh French bread is thick-sliced and slathered in a homemade cheesy garlic butter spread, then toasted to perfection in the oven.
If baking immediately: Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice a loaf of French bread into about 1 to 1 ¼ inch thick pieces and place in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet.
In a bowl, add softened butter, minced garlic, salt, parsley, garlic powder, parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese. Mix until ingredients are incorporated.
Spread butter mixture evenly over the tops of your bread slices.
To freeze: Place baking sheet into freezer for about 1-2 hours, or until bread is frozen solid. Transfer frozen bread into a freezer-safe container and seal tightly. Transfer back to the freezer and store for up to six months.
To prepare: Bake for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown around edges and lightly browned on top. Serve immediately.
Notes
I recommend buying fresh bread the day you intend to prepare your garlic bread for best results.
Use a serrated knife for easy bread slicing.
Cheese can be omitted to make regular garlic bread.
Frozen garlic bread will keep in the freezer for up to six months in a well sealed container.
If freezing: Test to make sure your baking sheet fits into your freezer before you start. If needed, use a smaller baking sheet and layer a piece of wax paper or parchment paper between multiple layers of garlic bread.
