Tips and tricks
- Stuff with lots of roasted garlic dip and cheese. Things can get a little messy during this part, but don't be shy! Be sure to pull apart all the cracks and stuff the dip down to the bottom of the loaf followed by the cheese.
- If the tinfoil is sticking to the cheese on top of the bread. Spray the inside of the foil with olive oil spray to prevent it from sticking to the cheese.
- Serve immediately. Stuffed garlic bread is best served fresh out of the oven while the cheese is still warm and melty!
Make ahead
This is a great make-ahead appetizer recipe that's perfect for the busy holiday season! The bread can be prepared 1-2 days in advance.
Prepare the loaf as directed in the recipe, spreading the roasted garlic dip between all the cracks and stuffing with cheese. Cover with foil and refrigerate until you're ready to bake. Remove from the fridge about 30 minutes prior to baking to allow the bread to come to room temperature.
Storing leftovers
If you have any leftover bread, wrap in foil and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
To reheat, place the foil-wrapped loaf in the oven at 375°F until the bread is warm and the cheese is melted.

- Melt the butter and mix in the parsley. Brush half of the butter mixture over the loaf.
- Place the loaf on a baking sheet and cover with foil. Bake at 375°F for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake for another 15 minutes until the top is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Brush with the remaining parsley butter and serve immediately while warm!
