April is one of those months when you desperately want to exchange winter clothes and comfort foods for lighter options, but some days remain too chilly for that to be a reality. I recently made this recipe for cheesy, pull-apart cheddar garlic bread which would pair well with either a hearty soup or a lighter salad meal with grilled chicken. Any one of Conebella Farm’s Cheddar or Colby cheeses would work well in this recipe.
I used plain cheddar, but equally good in this recipe would be:
- Colby
- Smoked Colby
- Italian Colby
- Sharp Cheddar
- Garlic and Chive Cheddar
- Italian Cheddar
- Smoked Cheddar
- Smoked Jalapeno Cheddar
Additionally, you could use a cheese spread in place of butter and shredded cheese. For that, I’d recommend using one of the following cheese spreads:
- Cheddar Spread
- Garden Garlic Cheddar Spread
- Jalapeno Cheddar Spread
- Bacon Cheddar Spread

To make the recipe, I bought a good quality hearty and crusty loaf of bread. You could use something similar, or really any good freshly baked bread would work. I sliced it in generous size slices about ¾ of the way down, then I buttered in between each slice. Next, I sprinkled it with garlic powder and shredded some Conebella Farm Sharp Cheddar to stuff in between each piece. Then I covered it loosely in tin foil and put it in a preheated oven at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes until the bread was toasty and the cheese on top was slightly golden brown. Finally, I sprinkled it with freshly chopped green onions and served it.
