Instructions

Prep
1

a) Preheat the oven to 200°C . b) Roughly chop the chives. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). c) Grate the Cheddar, Monetary Jack and red Leicester. Drain the mozzarella and tear it into small pieces. d) Cut the top of the bread with a crisscross pattern: slice in 2cm intervals lengthways and widthways, so the bread is crisscrossed but not cut through.

Butter Would Melt
2

a) Pop a small saucepan on low heat, melt the butter in the pan, 2-3 mins. b) Once melted, remove from the heat and stir in the garlic, chives and oil (see ingredients for amount). c) Spoon the garlic butter mixture into each cut in the bread (make sure the garlic butter is evenly distributed).

Bake
3

a) Layer all the cheeses on top of the bread, pushing some down into the cuts. b) Loosely wrap the bread in foil. c) Pop the wrapped bread onto a baking tray, bake on the top shelf of the oven for 15 mins. d) Once the bread has been baking for 15 mins, unwrap and bake for another 5 mins. Once cooked, remove from your oven, tear and share!

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Cheese lovers enjoyed this indulgent treat, though some found it overpowering or heavy.
  • Ease of prep: Preparing alongside another meal can be challenging; consider making it as a standalone dish.
  • Suggestions: Add extra butter and garlic for more flavour; reduce rosemary to let other ingredients shine through.
  • Next-day meals: For crispier results, use less topping or a thicker focaccia to help ingredients bake in properly.
