Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 4 soft flour tortillas
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Optional: red pepper flakes, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, melt the unsalted butter and stir in the minced fresh garlic until fragrant, infusing the butter with savory garlic flavor.
  2. Brush the Tortillas: Lay each soft flour tortilla flat on a baking sheet and generously brush one side with the prepared garlic butter mixture, ensuring even coverage for maximum flavor and moisture.
  3. Add the Cheese: Sprinkle an even layer of shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese over the buttered side of each tortilla. Use enough cheese to achieve gooey, melty goodness but avoid overloading to ensure perfect melting.
  4. Bake Until Crispy and Melty: Place the tortillas in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the cheesy garlic bread from the oven, then sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and optional red pepper flakes for extra flavor and color. Cut into wedges and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for brighter, more intense flavor than garlic powder.
  • Don’t skip the Parmesan cheese; it adds a subtle salty crunch that balances the mozzarella’s creaminess.
  • Keep an eye on the baking time to prevent burning, especially on the tortilla edges.
  • Spread cheese evenly for consistent melting and gooey texture in every bite.
  • Use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
