My Best Tips
Always grate your own cheese it melts so much better. Use fresh garlic not the jar stuff and spread everything right to the edges. If mayo makes you nervous start with less you can always add more next time.
Keep It Fresh
This bread is best fresh but if you have leftovers they'll keep a day at room temp or up to 3 days in the fridge. Just pop it back in the oven until it's hot and melty again.

Perfect Partners
I love serving this with pasta or a big bowl of soup. Try dipping it in marinara sauce or just enjoy it on its own. Trust me it makes any meal special.
Frequently Asked Questions
- → Why use mayonnaise?
Mayo helps create a creamy, rich base for the cheese and keeps the bread from drying out.
- → Can I make this ahead?
Best served fresh and hot. Can prepare mixture ahead but assemble and bake just before serving.
- → What's the best bread to use?
Italian or French bread works best. Choose a sturdy loaf that can hold heavy toppings.
- → Why wrap in foil?
Foil helps cheese melt evenly and prevents edges from burning before middle is done.
