Ingredients

  • 1 Baguette or Ciabatta Loaf fresh is best
  • 1 bulb Garlic
  • 1/2 tsp Olive Oil
  • 55g/ 1/2 stick Butter softened, can sub vegan butter
  • 1/4 cup Jarred Jalapeños finely diced
  • 2 Spring Onions finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp Mayonnaise optional, can sub vegan mayo
  • 40g/ 1.5 oz Cheddar Cheese grated
  • 125g/ 1 ball Fresh Mozzarella grated
  • Salt + Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 210°C/410°F.
  • First prepare the roasted garlic: slice the top off the whole bulb of garlic to expose the cloves inside (see photos in the blog post above). Place the garlic bulb on a square of baking paper or foil.
  • Drizzle the olive oil over the garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cover the bulb with the paper or foil and bake for 25-30 minutes until the garlic is soft.
  • Slice the baguette or ciabatta in half lengthwise and place on a baking tray.
  • Prepare the garlic butter: add the softened butter, diced jalapeños, chopped spring onions and mayonnaise to a medium bowl. Remove the garlic from the oven and squeeze out the garlic cloves into the bowl.
  • Mix the garlic butter together, ensuring the garlic cloves are well mashed up.
  • Grate the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses and transfer to a medium bowl. Mix them together to combine.
  • Generously spread the garlic butter mix over each slice of the baguette, ensuring that the butter is spread up to the edges.
  • Top each slice of baguette with the cheese mixture and some extra jarred jalapeños (optional).
  • Bake the cheesy jalapeño garlic bread for 10-12 minutes until golden and bubbling. Enjoy!

Notes

  • The jalapeño garlic bread tastes best fresh but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day. To reheat, place in the oven at 180°C/350°F until fully heated through.
