After a busy long weekend (we started laying the hardwood floor in our kitchen), we’re looking for something quick, easy and – of course – delicious for dinner tonight! The solution – this Italian Cheesy Bread!
This delicious recipe is simple to make and very versatile depending on your personal flavor preferences as well as the ingredients you have on hand in your kitchen!
Start by making our amazing garlic bread recipe – then load it up with toppings. We added a blend of provolone and mozzarella cheeses, sun dried tomatoes and some chopped oil-cured Italian olives to give this bread a salty, briny, cheesy and rich flavor.
Bake your Italian Cheesy Bread until hot and melted – and you’ve got an incredible meal ready to serve!
