Italian Style Garlic Bread

Jump to Recipe  Print Recipe

This is my favorite type of Italian style garlic bread. It combines 3 delicious cheeses with garlic, butter, and oregano and it’s just the perfect threat for a get together.

I always say that there are two types of people: the ones that like garlic bread and the ones that don’t.

It’s definitely the number one dish in my parties!

I make this bread whenever I want to receive some friends or throw a party. It’s just the most easy thing ever and I found this exact ingredients mixture the most tasty, too.

This is a recipe to eat with parsimony, due to high calories and fat. 

With two slices of baguette you can cut into smaller strips and feed up to 4 people.

Now if you REALLY want to impress your guests, this is the perfect dessert you have to make: Crostata di Frutta.
