Ingredients
40 g (3 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon chunky minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
3 medium tortillas
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella
1/4 cup grated cheese (cheddar, tasty cheese, or similar)
Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350–375°F / Gas Mark 4–5.
-
In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, dried basil, parsley and oregano. Mix until it becomes a smooth, spreadable paste.
-
Lay two tortillas flat on a board. Spread an even layer of the garlic butter over each tortilla.
-
Sprinkle mozzarella over the top, then add the second cheese.
-
To make a double-layer tortilla garlic bread, prepare a third tortilla the same way and stack it on top of another cheese-covered tortilla.
-
Place both the single and double-layer tortillas on a baking sheet.
-
Bake for about 10 minutes for the single layer, or until the cheese is melted and the edges crisp. The double layer will need around 5 extra minutes.
-
Remove from the oven and let sit for one minute so the cheese can settle.
-
Slice into wedges and top with fresh basil leaves if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- Soften the butter at room temperature so it mixes easily.
- Double layers require slightly longer baking time.
- For an extra crispy base, place the tortilla directly on the oven rack for the last minute or two.
- Best eaten fresh. Leftovers can be reheated in the microwave or air fryer.
