You will Love this Grilled 3-Cheese Bread!
This Grilled Three Cheese Bread is a sure winner, and goes well with many different grilled main dishes. The grill is the perfect way to get that crispy outside and soft, chewy, melty inside. Yum!
I like the fact that it can be made up a couple of hours ahead of time. The only last-minute thing I have to think about is sticking it on the grill 10 minutes before the main course is finished.
Ingredients for Grilled Three-Cheese Bread
- 2 Tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 3 Tablespoons butter, softened
- ½ teaspoon salt

- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese
- Dried or fresh chopped herbs to taste, optional (I like to use fresh basil, parsley and chives)
- 1 loaf French/Italian bread, sliced
How To Make Grilled Three-Cheese Bread
1. Preheat grill to medium heat.
2. In a small bowl, mix cream cheese and butter together until well blended.
3. Add remaining ingredients except bread and mix well.
4. Slice a large loaf of French or Italian bread in half the long-way.
5. Spread butter mixture on both sides of each piece of bread and put bread back into a loaf shape.
6. Wrap bread in a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil and secure tightly.
7. Grill 8-10 minutes over medium heat, turning once.

I do it baked but I butter the French bread on bottom, put mustard on both sides, put garlic powder on bottom half and thyme on both halves, then use swiss cheese and bake covered in foil at 325 until it is crunchy on crust.
I usually serve this with tomato bisque soup.
We make something very similar to this often on the grill in the summer. To save time, instead of cutting the slices and “buttering” each slice, we cut it lengthwise (like a hot dog bun), slather on the toppings, wrap in foil, grill and then cut into slices after it’s baked.
