Recipe Notes
How do you reheat cheesy garlic bread?
You can place it in a microwave for about a minute or so if you are in a rush, but if you have a few extra minutes i highly recommend reheating it in a air fryer or in the oven . Simply place the bread on a baking sheet in a cold oven and turn it on 350F. Placing it in a cold oven helps the bread to warm through as the oven heats up, while preventing the cheese from burning. If you place the cheesy bread in a preheated oven, it will also be okay but the cheese will melt faster and the bread won't be warmed through.
How do i store cheesy garlic bread?
This bread withstands counter life in the same day of cooking it as long as it is tightly covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container to prevent the bread and cheese from drying out. If you need to save it for later, put in in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days.
Can i use garlic powder instead fresh garlic?
Using fresh garlic is KEY to get that true garlic flavor, in most dishes when fresh garlic is replaced for dry, the dish end result will be a little different and not as tasty. You'll get the best results using tons of fresh garlic.
