Gorgonzola Garlic Bread

This Gorgonzola garlic bread recipe was a delicious change from our usual mozzarella cheese bread. I made this to go with some grilled BBQ shrimp, so we could sop up the sauce. They made a fantastic combination. We really liked the tang of the Gorgonzola. And although the recipe calls for making this bread in the oven, you can use the grill just as easily, specially if you already have it fired up!

Gorgonzola Garlic Bread

Not Your Usual Garlic Bread. Better.

Gorgonzola garlic bread is easy to make, but don’t forget the Parmesan cheese like I did the first time I made it. The Parmesan adds such a nice flavor with the Gorgonzola. You could substitute Asiago cheese and even add some red pepper flakes for a little heat. If that’s your thing.

This is a great bread to serve instead of your usual garlic bread. It’s amazing how just a few simple different ingredients can make for a much better bread experience!

Cheesy Garlic Bread

This is the easiest way to make a big ole loaf of yummy, cheesy garlic bread. Every slice is loaded with butter and cheese goodness. You can make these loaves ahead of time and bake them later. You can cut them thick, or you can cut them thin. If you end up cutting them real thin you might have to double or triple the ingredients for the ‘toppings’. Heck, you might want to double or triple them anyways because they’re great. And more cheese is more better!

Kick It Up

You can kick up this cheesy garlic bread by substituting pepper jack cheese and adding a few pickled jalapeno slices. I sometimes make this using a baguette for smaller, almost crouton-sized slices of cheese bread.

Also try my gotta-have-it garlic bread and some gorgonzola garlic bread.
