- Slice the French bread in half lengthwise and spread the top of each half with equal amounts of garlic butter.
- Place the halves on a baking sheet, butter side up. Top with Parmesan cheese, then with remaining Mozzarella.
- Bake for 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
- Increase heat to 450° and bake for up to 8 additional minutes, until the top begins to brown. Keep an eye on it during this time.

Notes
- Pro Tips
- Storage
- Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheating
- Freezer Garlic Bread
- This recipe can be prepared ahead of time to freeze and serve later.
- French Bread is the best kind to use for this recipe. It has a crispy outer crust which allows it to hold up well, and it's soft in the middle which is perfect for absorbing the cheesy garlic butter spread!
- Use fresh garlic instead of jarred, it tastes much better! If the garlic clove isn't fresh it may turn a blueish green color when it bakes. This is from the acid in the Italian dressing. It's still safe to eat.
- Shred/grate your own Parmesan and Mozzarella cheese from a block, it tastes and melts much better.
- Use high-quality ingredients for this recipe. I like to use Cabot or Land O' Lakes Butter.
- To reheat garlic bread, simply wrap it in foil and bake it at 350° until heated through, about 10 minutes for refrigerated or 15-20 minutes for frozen.
- To reheat it in the microwave, turn the power down to around 40% and reheat with a cover over it for 1 minute or so. If the bread gets too hot, it will lose its texture and become very chewy.
- Prepare the bread as outlined and cut it into 1-inch slices. (Don't bake it.) Flash freeze it for 40 minutes. Transfer it to an airtight freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
- When ready to serve, bake it at 350° until the cheese is melted, (about 13 minutes). Then increase heat to 450° and bake until the top begins to brown, (up to 8 more minutes).
