Armadillo Cheesy Garlic Bread
Cravings by Chrissy Teigen
Ingredients
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 1/2 sticks (6 ounces) butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 cups finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
2 tablespoons finely minced garlic (about 4 cloves)
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1-pound round loaf French bread
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- In a bowl, combine the mozzarella, butter, mayo, Parmesan, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Using a serrated knife, cut the bread into a crosshatch pattern, making cuts 2 inches apart and taking care not to cut through the bottom of the bread.
- Place the bread on a large sheet of foil on a baking sheet. Stuff most of the cheese mixture into all of the cracks in the bread. Slather the remained over the top of the bread. Coat another sheet of foil with cooking spray and lay spray-side down on the top of the loaf. Crimp the two pieces together to seal the bread in foil.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375°F. Remove the top sheet of foil and bake until the top gets golden and the cheese is super melty, 15 to 20 minutes longer.
