Feta Garlic Bread
This cheesy garlic bread is what I make when we want something with a little more depth than regular garlic bread.
It’s loaded with buttery garlic flavor, salty crumbled feta, and plenty of melted mozzarella. The edges get golden brown and crispy and the inside stays soft. If you love Greek-inspired sides, this one is definitely one to try.
We usually pair it a simple tomato soup, Greek potatoes, Tuscan pasta, or anything saucy.
How to Make It
Start with a large loaf of French or Italian bread. Slice it in half lengthwise and set both halves cut-side up on a lined baking sheet.
Combine the softened butter with minced garlic, oregano, and a bit of black pepper. Spread the butter mixture over the bread.
Add the crumbled feta, then layer on the shredded mozzarella.
Bake the bread for about 10 to 12 minutes. If you like it extra bubbly and browned on top, broil it for a minute or two, but watch it close. It browns quickly.
Once it’s out of the oven, sprinkle on fresh parsley, paprika, or red pepper flakes if desired. Slice and serve warm.
Quick Tip
If you can find Cuban bread, use it. The crust stays crisp and the inside stays soft, even after baking. Otherwise, a French or Italian loaf works great.
How to Store Leftovers
Wrap leftover bread in foil and store it in the fridge. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through. It’s best fresh but will still be good the next day.

Hi, I’m Kimberly Vargo! Comfort food is at the heart of everything I make like easy dinners and sides to desserts, cocktails, and condiments. A lot of my inspiration comes from old family recipes, personal favorites, and vintage cookbooks.
I love cheese bread! Growing up, my mom bought a loaf of french bread, slathered it with butter and roasted garlic. After that she’d sprinkle whatever cheese she had on top and put it in the oven. I especially love it alongside spaghetti. Yum! x
I am drooling over here. Oh my goodness – cheese and bread, what’s not to like! I have never melted feta cheese before but I like the idea of adding a Cuban flare to cheesy bread. The addition of garlic makes this perfect!
