The Best Cheesy Garlic Bread
My husband isn’t a big bread eater. In fact, if we are out to eat, you can usually just stick the bread basket in front of me, because I could eat the whole thing while my husband will usually pass on it.
But he loved this bread, and definitely ate his fair share of it. That says a lot!
It is supposedly a knock off from the cheesy bread they serve at Black Angus. I’ve never been to Black Angus before, so I can’t compare them, but I do know I’m a fan of this bread!
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this Cheesy Garlic Bread:
- Cheese: I use a mix of mozzarella and monterey jack cheeses. You could change this up, but you’ll want to use a cheese that melts easily. Gruyere, provolone or gouda would be good choices. You could use cheddar, but it does tend to be a bit oily.
- Mayonnaise: This is the secret ingredient! It brings everything together and creates this creamy topping that is irresistible. The garlic bread doesn’t taste like mayonnaise, but you will find out that the mayonnaise is what makes this bread stand out from the others.
- Butter: I use unsalted butter, but you could use salted butter as well.
- Garlic: You can add more or less garlic, depending on how much garlic flavor you like.
- French Bread: This is the bread that you find at the grocery store, many times by the checkout.
- Green Onions: I always like to add on a bit of freshness, and I do love the onion flavor.
How to Make Cheesy Garlic Bread
This recipe is super easy to make!
- Stir together the topping – the cheese, the mayonnaise, the butter and the garlic.
- Cut the bread in half horizontally.
- Spread the topping on the cut sides of the bread.
- Bake the bread until heated through and the cheese is melted, then turn it to the broiler. Watch it closely so that it doesn’t burn!
- Top with green onions, then slice and serve!

Watermelons will detox you pretty hard if you eat a lot, sort of like an apple. Maybe your husband should do a detox, which would help with allergies anyway.

Yum! That looks great. I’ve been looking for a good garlic bread recipe and I think I’ll have to try this one. 🙂

This is in the oven now! I used mozzarella instead of italian blend. I’m also using Texas Toast in lieu of french bread. I’m excited to taste it!

Patricia Scarpin says
Deb, I’m not a doctor (far from it), but I know that watermelon can be very difficult to digest for some people – like garlic. Maybe it’s the case for your husband.
The garlic bread… Wow, I wish I could have helped with it! 🙂
Megan says
A day without a dishwasher is tooo long! 🙂

Ah, so mayonnaise is the secret! I’m hating mayo less and less every day.

Jenna says
Does you husband have any other allergies? It is possible he has Oral Allergy Syndrome in which the body responds to protiens/enzymes in food the same way it responds to pollen allergens. A ragweed allergy can be associated with allergies to raw bananas, and the members of the gourd family (most melons zucchini and cucumber).

i love the cheese when it’s brown and bubbly… this looks delish!
Laura says
Actually, watermelon allergies DO exist. It’s common to develop an allergy to melons (all kinds) and bananas and avocados… pretty much all at the same time. If you’re worried that he’s developed this, cut all of those out of his diet for a week and reintroduce them to see his reaction. Also, watermelons are commonly harvested using latex equipment, so if he has a latex allergy, I’d just suggest a visit to a farmers market where you’re more likely to get uncontaminated fruit. Good luck (and the bread looks AMAZING.)!
Madam Chow says
Ah, I see why it’s so good: it contains butter and mayonnaise!
syrie says
Wow, this looks fantastic. Very cheesy. I love it!

Hey! Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog, so glad you found me. Your blog is great! So many great ideas.
I didn’t know there was a Utah Food Blog roll – are you really from Orem? I am not sure if you went to my profile where it says that I live in Sydney and thought I was Australian, because I myself am originally from OREM! I bet we could really win big at the name game…
Kate / Kajal says
ooh hope your hubby is feeling better now. I’m sure the watermelon must’ve been funny. I wish there was a way to tell in advance.
The cheesy bread looks yum
Mrs. L says
I’ve gotten sick after eating watermelon before. Of course it was spiked with some vodka. Okay a lot of vodka.
Love cheesey garlic bread. I have a friend who won’t eat this because of the mayo but I think that so makes it!
Jeena says
The cheese looks so good melted on top and I love the spring onion garnish.

‘Enough of this bread to feed 12 adults and some kids’ – or one Indigo ^__^. Mmmm.
Jeanine says
Oh yum, that cheesy bread looks delicious! Interesting with the mayo, I’ve never seen that before!

Meeta says
never heard anything like a watermelon allergy before, but it does sound serious.
if you had invited me over to share that bread i would have happily helped you. i would have even brought the wine!
JennDZ - The Leftover Queen says
Wow, I am so sorry to hear about your husband – maybe it is sympathy pangs for you? 😉
What a nice little miracle that you were left with all that cheesy garlic bread ingredients. DARN. 😉
Jenn says
I have never salivated so much at a simple picture. WOW, the garlic bread looks amazing.
Paula says
Oh. My. Gosh. This bread looks fantastic! Better than fantastic! I neeeeed to eat this! How awful that your hubby got so ill! I’ve heard of people getting sick from various stuff on the rind, but not the flesh itself. I’m paranoid, so I wash every melon regardless of type before cutting. Poor guy.
Mama Goose says
Oh good God, I just gained 10 pounds looking at the pictures!!
I’m like you Deborah: I’ll eat the whole basket!
Hope DH isn’t allergic to H20Melon! Summer just ain’t right without it.
Kristen says
Hmmmmm – I don’t know about the watermelon allergy. I know that certain medications cause problems with grapefruit and citrus, but not sure about watermelon.
Either way, wish I was married to a non-bread eater. The more for me 🙂
Emiline says
I could LIVE on cheesy garlic bread. Yep, I could make a meal out of it.
That’s so weird about your husband and the watermelon. I have a friend that developed an allergy from mango. I guess you melon-eatin’ days are over.
Grace says
that’s so unfortunate! i love watermelon and think it’s the perfect summer treat, so i really feel bad for your hubby.
oh, and two of the nicest things you can do to bread are add cheese and add garlic. lovely. 🙂
Stef says
I certainly hope that it wasn’t an allergy. I have a weird reaction to kiwi, but I’ve never heard of a problem with watermelon. The bread makes me want to bite the screen!
Sophie says
I’m sorry to hear about your husband! This looks like a yummy snack. I’m all about the carbs, too, sometimes I fill up on bread before the actual meal comes :D.
KJ says
oh yum, i love garlic bread. poor hubby if he is allergic to watermelon. there is nothing better on a hot summer’s day.
Jenny says
Mmmm,
Is there anything better than this?! Looks terrific!
jasmine says
Looks absolutely delicious.
I’m wondering buying watermelons from a different supplier would help…could be a bad crop from one farm…

Brilynn says
I’ll fight you for the bread bowl! I could eat nothing but bread alone for days, especially if you throw some cheese on it, that looks great!
glamah16 says
I have heard of salmonella type sickness from the rind of certain melons in the past. When you slice the part you eat could be tainted.But you didn’t get sick and you would more sensitive to it. With all thats going on with tomatoes and peppers, just exercise caution.
Cookie baker Lynn says
This looks delicious! I hope your husband is feeling better. I thought allergies were to proteins, so I wonder if there is such a thing as a watermelon allergy?
dobetter says
Your poor hubby. Sounds like he’s developed an allergy to watermelon. Your cheesy garlic bread looks great.
Vicki says
My mouth gets itchy and my throat closes up when I eat watermelon. Never when I was a kid, only in the last 2 years or so. Bread looks yummy, BTW. 🙂
TheKeilShpeel says
My Great Aunt is allergic to watermellon. I love all of the food you put on here. I’m going to have to try and make some of this.
Veron says
Oh, your poor husband. I have never heard of watermelon allergy. Garlic is good for the stomach…so I must say this cheesy garlic bread is the best cure.
Melanie says
Hmmm…I’ve never heard of a watermelon allergy but regardless if I were your husband, I wouldn’t be eating watermelon for a while! In the meantime, that bread looks amazing – I wouldn’t feel too bad about having to eat it all yourselves!
Ashley says

Never heard of a watermelon allergy, other melons yes but not wm. Bummer.
