Classic Cheese Topping

This recipe needs no introduction. Cheese garlic bread is a favourite across the world. The classic combination of cheese and bread is a sure-shot winner and the garlic only adds to the charm. You can use a variety of cheese for the toppings ranging from the most loved mozzarella and parmesan to the lesser-known cheddar, provolone, muenster variants. Mix it with some herbs and chilli flakes, and you have a winner!

Seafood Garlic Bread

Adding some yummy seafood toppings to your garlic bread is a good idea if you are looking for variety. You can use simple and easy-to cook-seafood items such as tuna melts, calamari or prawns. You can saute the prawns for just about three minutes in some butter with herbs, tomatoes and add some spices. Add the yummy topping on your bread with some grated cheese for a filling meal.

Herb Butter

This recipe adds some freshness to the rich and sometimes dense texture of garlic bread with ample use of basil. The bread is smeared with yummy basil butter along with some grated cheese. You can replace basil with your favourite herbs to give a fresh and healthy touch to the otherwise indulgent dish. What’s not to love about this deliciousness?

Easy Breakfast Version

Have some leftover garlic bread from dinner last night? Here is a fun way to use it for breakfast. If you are someone who cannot do without eggs for your first meal of the day, this idea is perfect for you. Make your regular scrambled eggs with a touch of milk, butter and herbs. Lay the buttery eggs over the garlic bread. Add some fresh baby tomatoes and arugula that you have tossed in some olive oil. Alternatively, you can use avocado or your favourite cheese over the eggs as well.

So, the simple cheesy garlic bread or the fancy seafood variant — what is going to be your pick?
