Cheesy garlic bread is an amazing appetizer or added to any meal really. I love the cheese pull one gets from making this correctly. This originated back in the 15th century from Italy and can be traced back to ancient Rome! I’m sure at its most basic form. But along the way Italian immigrants kept making it better and better as with all recipes people put their own spin on it. Ours here at The Pink Papaya has Compound butter that lies on top of an Italian rosemary olive oil bread. We then cover it in Mozzarella Romano and parmesan cheeses. This will definitely knock your socks off if you’re wearing any while you eat this…or in the Caribbean’s case make your chanclas (flip flops) go flying! Enjoy!
Cheesy Italian Rosemary Garlic Bread
This appetizer is what dreams are made of...No seriously I really, really mean it! My neighbors and tasters can't get enough. When I went to drop off some tasters a few minutes later they came knocking on my door asking for more. That in my opinion is the ultimate compliment. This roasted garlic compound butter is a must. I now have a tube in my freezer at all times. It makes beautiful pizzas as well. Getting back to this garlic cheesy bread, as an appetizer it is brilliant but as a side dish well talking about enhancing a meal. The cheese mixture adds to the gooeyness and golden brown deliciousness and the bread is hardly an afterthought. We paired the rosemary olive oil bread as well as the oregano to make a well rounded flavor profile and we succeeded.
