Ingredients and Variations
Everyone loves this four cheese bread! Why wait for delivery when you can make this delicious cheesy bread so easily at home!
Bread – Sturdy breads like French baguettes, sourdough boules, or ciabatta breads have light and fluffy interiors for all that cheesy goodness to melt into. Even hotdog or hamburger buns work!
Cheese Mixture – Let cream cheese come to room temperature for faster blending! If time permits, grate the cheese yourself because packaged shredded cheese has anti-caking agents that don’t allow for optimal melting. Look for a good combo like cheddar, mozzarella, and parmesan for the best creamy, tangy flavors! Sprinkle in some blue cheese or crumbled feta on the top, too!
Variations – Top cheesy bread with mini pepperonis and sliced black olives in Step 4 to make mini cheesy pizza slices! Bacon bits, jalapenos, and tomato slices are another great combination to try. Mix in a little taco seasoning or everything bagel seasoning for a new recipe every time!
