Ingredients
- 8 medium flour tortillas
- 3 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a round baking dish or springform pan and set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Place one tortilla on a flat surface. Brush lightly with garlic butter and sprinkle with mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Place another tortilla on top and repeat until all tortillas and cheese are used.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the stacked tortillas into wedges or squares while keeping the stack together. Carefully arrange the pieces upright in the prepared baking dish to create a pull-apart effect.
- Sprinkle any remaining cheese over the top. Drizzle the remaining garlic butter evenly across the bread.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and any optional toppings. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm and enjoy pulling apart the cheesy layers.
Notes
- Freshly shredded cheese melts better than pre-shredded cheese.
- Add bacon, jalapeños, or pepperoni for extra flavor.
- A springform pan makes serving easier.
- Allow the bread to rest briefly before serving for cleaner pull-apart pieces.
