Method
Preheat your oven to 200°C for about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic and sauté it gently for 2–3 minutes until the butter becomes fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Using a brush, spread the warm garlic butter generously on both sides of each bread slice.
Arrange the bread on a baking tray. Sprinkle the finely chopped onions evenly over each slice, followed by the green chillies if you enjoy a little heat. If you're making this for children, simply leave out the chillies.
Top each slice with grated processed cheese or mozzarella cheese.
Bake the garlic bread on the middle rack of the preheated oven at 200°C for about 4–5 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the edges turn golden and crisp.
Once baked, sprinkle oregano and chilli flakes according to your taste.
Serve immediately while the cheese is hot and perfectly melted.
Tips
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor.
- Mozzarella gives a stretchy, cheesy texture, while processed cheese offers a richer taste.
- Do not overbake, as the bread can become too hard.
- You can also prepare this recipe using burger buns or dinner rolls.
- Serve it fresh for the best taste and texture.
