Step-by-Step Cheesy Bread Recipe
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) for the perfect bake.
Step 2: Prepare the Cheesy Mixture
- In a mixing bowl, combine shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, one large egg, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix until fully incorporated for a gooey, flavorful base.
Step 3: Prep the Baking Sheet
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 4: Spread and Shape
- Evenly spread the cheese mixture on the prepared baking sheet, forming a thin, uniform layer for maximum crispiness.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the center is set.
Step 6: Broil for Extra Crispiness
- Switch to broil for 1 minute to achieve a crispy, bubbly top. Watch closely to avoid burning.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
- Let the cheesy bread cool slightly, then cut into squares. Serve warm for the ultimate comfort food experience.
