Notes
Can you make Cheesy Garlic Bread ahead of time?
Garlic bread is most certainly best when served fresh and warm, but it is still delicious after it has cooled off. If you want to make it days in advance, store it covered in the fridge.
Reheating: Cover with non-stick foil and bake for about 5 minutes at 350 degrees or until heated through

Can I Freeze this Garlic Bread?
This particular recipe has mayonnaise in it which has not proven to be a great candidate for freezing. While the taste will be the same, the mayonnaise might break apart impacting the texture
Tips and Tricks:
- consider adding toppings like marinated artichoke, roasted peppers, or greek olives before baking
- don’t forget to keep a close eye on your bread while it is under the broiler – your bread can go quickly from golden brown to burnt in seconds
