Party Cheese Bread

How can you make this cheese bread recipe your own?

You can switch up the cheese you use in this cheese bread recipe. Consider using mozzarella, cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack. Really, whatever cheese you fancy! You can also experiment with different spices—perhaps add a bit of smoked paprika and a seasoning blend (like Italian seasoning), or sprinkle on some poppy seeds.

Can you make cheese bread ahead of time?

You can always assemble your bread ahead of time, wrap it in foil, and keep it in your refrigerator until ready to bake. This is helpful if you are taking your cheese bread to a party and want to bake it up fresh at your destination! Sprinkle on the chives, if desired, after baking.

How should you reheat leftover cheese bread?

Wrap any leftover bread tightly in foil and store in the refrigerator, where it should last for up to 3 days. When ready to reheat, pop the cheese bread—still wrapped—in a low temperature oven until it reaches your desired warmth (20 to 25 minutes ought to do the trick). Can't get enough cheese?
