Cheesy garlic bread has a rich history dating back to the 1940s when Italian immigrants in the United States began incorporating garlic and cheese into traditional bread recipes. This savory treat quickly gained popularity and became a staple in Italian-American cuisine. Renowned chefs like Lidia Bastianich and Mario Batali have popularized their own versions of this dish, adding unique twists and flavors. Today, the best cheesy garlic bread can be found in Italian restaurants across the country, particularly in regions with strong Italian influences such as New York, Chicago, and San Francisco. The key to perfect cheesy garlic bread lies in using high-quality ingredients, including fresh garlic, artisanal bread, and a generous amount of gooey, melted cheese. For a delicious alternative, consider adding herbs like parsley or oregano for an extra burst of flavor.
