Yummy. Who knew garlic bread would be this good without butter?
Susan Stevens
This is an ok start. I like really flavorful garlic bread so I added 2T butter, pinch of oregano, rosemary and sea salt. Taste then add more accordingly. I baked at 400 until browned so the bottom wasn’t soft.

This was really easy and loved by all at a recent family dinner. Only changes I made was to use 1/2 mayonnaise called for and used 1/2 butter for total original amount of mayonnaise called for in original recipe. So easy when cooking for a crowd. I had spread on all of the bread on sheet pans and just before we all sat down for dinner placed the pans under the broilers. Will make over and over again.

Love this! I have added cheddar cheese to this too. Makes for a perfect blend!
Rebecca Reed
I have making this recipe for about 15 years try adding fresh chopped basil or oregano to change it up . It’s the best.

Love, love, love! I usually make my own French bread, but I had some sourdough hoagie rolls in the freezer and decided to use those (2 of the sandwich size rolls to make 4 pieces – you could also cut those in half to make 8 decent size pieces). I used softened butter (maybe 2 tbsp.) as others have suggested, spreading it on the rolls. I mixed the 2 tbsp. Best Foods/Hellman’s mayo, 1/4 cup parmesan (vs. 1/2), and 2 cloves of minced fresh garlic in a bowl, then spread it onto the bread with a spoon. Topped that with a sprinkle of “Italian Blend” shredded cheese from a bag (mozzarella, mild cheddar, smoked provolone & asiago). I ran them under the broiler and watched them carefully until they reached golden brown perfection (which only took maybe 3 minutes – don’t walk away!). My husband said it was “a home run outta the park hit” and “the best garlic bread I’ve EVER had!” 🙂 Brilliant!!

I changed this a lot, but I have it 5 stars because the basic idea is good and I never would have thought of using mayo on garlic bread if I hadn’t seen this recipe. I made this twice this weekend. The first time I made it, I used my normal recipe and also made a variation of this one cause I was scared this might be weird. (I mixed about 1 1/2 tbs butter with garlic, spread on bread and lightly toasted. I then spread the mayo/fresh minced garlic/Parmesan/italian seasoning mixture over that and broiled until it was nice and brown and bubbly.). We both liked the bread with the mayo topping the best with our chicken parm. The second night I used my leftover marinara for chicken meatball subs and made them on garlic bread using the mayo topping again. They were seriously to die for. One of the best sandwiches I have ever had. Give this a shot, but I do suggest fresh garlic and letting the mayo mixture’s flavors combine for a little while.

It turned out pretty good. I did not bother to make a paste out of the mayo, cheese and garlic powder. I just spread some butter on the bread then some mayo, then sprinkled the parmesan cheese and garlic powder, then popped it into my toaster oven for a minute or two until it got bubbly.

I made this for my family and they are very picky about their food. They just loved it, however, I used fat free miracle whip and added 1/2 fat free cheddar cheese and 1/2 parmesan. It was very good and I cut the fat. I make it often.
Andres Brooks
Like others, I thought the title was misleading… However this recipe has possibilites if you cut back on the garlic powder and grated Parmesan. I added some softened butter along with the mayo and some herbs such as oregano and Italian seasoning. You have to play with this one in order to get the garlic bread you’re looking for…
John Brown
Yum! Made this for the first time last night with some left over french bread that I had. It was delicious! I only had a tablespoon on mayo on hand so, I did the other half butter. Will only make it this way from now on.
Isaiah Gould
We didn’t really care for this. The mayonnaise is just too weird, and it would have tasted a lot better with fresh garlic.
Carrie Brown
Absolutely YUM! Only thing i added was a little bit of Italian seasoning to the mix before spreading it. The second time I made this I added shredded cheese on top before baking it, even better!
Christina Edwards
If you start with frozen garlic bread, omit the garlic and put on the mayo/parm mixture it’s fantastic and super easy.
Marie Mathews
This is wonderful garlic bread as is. However, I used mayo with olive oil for a healthier option, as well as chopped garlic rather than the powder and it was just as good. I make my garlic bread this way all of the time!
Jennifer Stewart
Quick and easy. I added one clove of garlic in addition to a pinch of garlic powder. I also buttered the loaves before adding the cheese spread. Delicious!
Stephanie Burns
Very good and easy! Like some users, I also added a little bit of butter. Next time I will definetly cut the garlic powder in half though. A little strong.
Jeffrey Hobbs
My family requests that I make garlic bread this way from now on. LOVED IT!
Whitney Nelson
I don’t know why this comment I left on here a year ago only had the word ” I “, but 2 users found it useful so that was funny! It was to be con’t with… never really liked garlic bread until this recipe, NOW I CAN’T GET ENOUGH!!! I guess if you already love garlic bread, the bubbly creamy topping might not be your fav…or it just might make you never go back to your old recipe again. Happy Eating! *Tried this using butter too and preferred mayo, but both were yummy!!!!
