This quick and easy garlic bread with cheese is a simple dish you can whip under 10 minutes. Be it for breakfast or for a party, it is very easy to make. Garlic Bread with Cheese has always been my favorite dish to order when we used to eat out pizzas. So I wanted to make it at home and was looking for whole loaf without slicing. Finding a bakery that offers a loaf without slicing was a task. However, this recipe is so versatile that you can make this with any store bought bread/bun.
I love garlic and enjoy the aroma of cooked garlic in the dishes. Like this Garlic Pull-Apart Rolls or this Roasted Garlic Twisted Pizza Sticks, these make a perfect dish to indulge your favorite spice!

- Oregano Herb
For Garlic Butter
- 50 grams Butter salted

Instructions
For the Garlic Butter
- Bring the butter to room temperature so that it is soft. Else MW for 10 seconds. We want the butter to soft and not melted
- Wash and peel the garlic.
- Using garlic presser, press down the garlic into the butter and make a paste.
- If you don't have the presser, you can either pound it or grind it in a small mixer jar. Keep this garlic butter aside.

- We can use any type of bread available.
- I have used Pav Buns. Bread Slices, loafs, or buns will also be suitable for making garlic bread.

- Once the buns are crispy on top, spread the garlic butter on top.
- Spread the grated cheese on top as required.
