Can you make Cheesy Garlic Bread ahead of time?

This bread is best when served warm and recently out of the oven. Of course, once it's cooled off, it's still delicious.

To make this bread one day before your party, spread the cheesy mixture onto the sliced bread. Cover with non-stick foil and refrigerate. Just before your party, uncover the bread and broil until golden and bubbly.

Can Cheesy Garlic Bread be Frozen?

I would not freeze this particular bread. It has a mayonnaise spread which probably will not keep its texture when frozen.

Tips and Tricks:

for a fun, easy, and delicious appetizer bread bite, add toppings to your garlic bread. I love artichoke hearts and roasted red pepper on this bread. Just add it to the top before you set it in the oven
be careful that your bread doesn't go from golden and bubbly to black and burnt. It's amazing how fast something can look just about right under the broiler to overcooked.
