Cheesy Bacon Garlic Bread Boats are indulgent, savory treats made with crusty bread filled with melted cheese, crispy bacon, and garlicky butter, perfect for parties or game day snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 small baguettes or sub rolls
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut a deep V-shape into the tops of the baguettes and remove the center bread to create a hollow boat. Be careful not to cut through the bottom.
  3. In a bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  4. Brush the inside of the bread boats with the garlic butter mixture.
  5. In another bowl, combine mozzarella, cheddar, and crumbled bacon.
  6. Stuff the cheese and bacon mixture evenly into the bread boats.
  7. Place the boats on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
  8. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is crisp.
  9. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use sourdough or ciabatta for a sturdier bread option.
  • Add chopped jalapeños or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Serve with marinara or ranch for dipping.
