Creamy Onion Garlic Bread

This garlic bread recipe is the only one you’ll ever need – it’s creamy cheesy perfection and it’s so easy to make!

Oh, Lord, y’all. Have I got a recipe for you.

The other day I was flipping through my rather large stack of unread cooking magazines searching for recipes to tear out and save for later. I came across a recipe for how to make homemade garlic bread – creamy onion garlic bread, to be precise – and my heart stopped. The name alone was enough to make my mouth start watering. It wasn’t pretty.

I hurriedly ripped the recipe out, because with ingredients like onions and garlic it had to be good, right? Well, yeah, I’m sure it probably was a “good” recipe, but it wasn’t what I was hoping for. The list of ingredients included garlic powder, but no real garlic, and that, my friends, is a real tragedy.

I decided right then and there that I was going to save the world from eating mediocre garlic bread and, y’all, I don’t want to brag or anything, but this is the best garlic bread I have ever eaten in my life.

I created something amazing, if you ask me. If you try just one recipe from this site, let it be this one. Seriously. Delicious doesn’t even begin to describe the creamy yumminess that is this bread.

Here’s what you’ll need to make the best garlic bread recipe ever: cream cheese, butter, mayonnaise (if you’re a mayo hater, just double the amount of cream cheese), Parmesan cheese, garlic, garlic powder, green onions, salt and pepper. Oh, and a loaf of french bread.

Pretty easy, right? Nothing too crazy.

Here’s some good news about this bread – you can totally freeze it for another day!

The bread gets sliced in half, so I’ll bake one half of the loaf right away and pop the other half in the freezer for another day. This is easy to freeze – just stick it into the freezer, uncovered, for thirty minutes. After thirty minutes the topping should be frozen enough not to smear all over the place. Wrap it tightly in aluminum foil and freeze until needed. Bake it straight from the freezer at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Keep an eye on it, though, you won’t want it to get too brown and crunchy.
