Cheesy Garlic Bread Hack
Cheesy Garlic bread will never be the same after this. 🧄✨ Sweet Hawaiian rolls stuffed with gooey cheese, flavored with garlic butter, and baked to golden perfection… trust me, you’ll never go back to the regular kind.
Save this for pasta night, game day, or honestly just because. 🍝🧀
Ingredients
- 1 pack Hawaiian rolls (12-count)
- 1 ½–2 cups shredded mozzarella
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
- ¼ cup grated parmesan
- ½ tsp garlic salt
- Pinch of black pepper

Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Keeping the rolls attached, slice them vertically into 3 layers, careful not to cut through the bottom.
- In a bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, garlic salt, parsley, parmesan, and pepper.
- Gently pull apart each layer and stuff with cheese. Place the rolls in a baking dish and pour garlic butter evenly over the top, letting it seep into the layers.
- Bake uncovered for 20–25 mins, until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted.
- Serve warm and pull apart for the cheesiest garlic bread ever.

Perfect Presentation Platters
This Garlic Cheesy Bread looks swoonworthy in just about anything! Here are some of the staples we used, including goodies from our Amazon Storefront, which has hundreds of useful finds!
Individual Serving Plates: I love black-and-white checkered plates from Mac-Kenzie Childs, which also come in a blue or pink version! For adorable and more affordable serving plates, I am obsessed with this beautiful coordinating set from Target for a great price!
Checkered Serving Boards: I used my Mackenzie-Childs check-chop board for both function and decor, which also comes in large. These are definitely investment pieces, but you can also check out a $30 version from Amazon or this heavy-duty version (also from Amazon!)

Kitchen Links: I get asked all the time about the products in the background of my kitchen. Much of it is from MacKenzie-Childs, which I have slowly grown a collection of over the years! My favorites are this checkered chopping board, my black and white checkered teapot, and the gray and white checkered utensil holder. I also have this enamel canister that you can find in small, medium, or large.
Can I Prep This in Advance?
We prefer to prep this Cheesey Garlic Bread right before baking, but you can absolutely prep Steps 1-4, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours ahead of time.

Storing Leftovers
If you have any leftover Cheesy Garlic Bread, you can either cover the pan with Aluminum foil/Saran Wrap or transfer to a Ziploc Bag/Tupperware container and refrigerate. This should stay fresh for about 3 days! To reheat, microwave for 15-second intervals until preferred eat is reached.
