Ingredients
– 1 large loaf of bread (preferably a soft, fluffy bread)
– 1 cup cream cheese, softened
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
– 4-5 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried parsley or chives
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to make your own Korean Cream Cheese Garlic Bread:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Garlic Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, softened butter, minced garlic, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Slice the Bread: Using a sharp knife, make diagonal cuts in the loaf of bread, being careful not to cut all the way through. Aim for about 1-inch apart.
4. Fill the Bread: Generously spread the cream cheese mixture into each cut, ensuring that it fills the crevices well.
5. Add Mozzarella: If desired, add shredded mozzarella cheese into each cut for extra cheesiness.
6. Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush the outside of the bread with olive oil for added flavor and to help it crisp up.
7. Bake: Place the filled loaf on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden and crispy.
