Easy Garlic Cheese Bread
Regular cheese bread is good, but cheesy gruyere garlic bread fresh from the oven takes deliciousness to a whole new level.
This easy recipe is great served as an appetizer or as part of the meal.
Some of you may enjoy dipping it in marinara sauce, but I prefer it as is.
Gruyere is one of my favorite types of cheese to serve on a cheese plate, but this hard cheese is also wonderful when it is melted.
The cows milk cheese comes from Gruyères, which is a town in Switzerland.
It’s flavor is nutty and a bit sweet, which is a perfect compliment to the garlic and other ingredients in this tasty baked cheese bread.
Enjoy!
