Fresh dill and a pinch of chilli flakes transform basic crusty bread into these Cheesy Dill Breads, a simple side that relies on the contrast between aromatic herbs and gooey, melted cheese. Using a combination of Monterey Jack and mozzarella creates a satisfying pull, while the butter infusion ensures the edges of the bread crisp up perfectly in the oven.
These mini bakes are a practical choice for busy weeknights when you need a fast accompaniment to soups or salads. The butter soaks into the crumb of the bread, carrying the bright, grassy notes of the dill and a subtle warmth from the chilli throughout every bite.
Whether you have a loaf of Pane Di Casa on hand or any other sturdy artisan bread, this approach works well to elevate pantry staples. It is a straightforward way to add a bit of interest to a meal without much extra effort in the kitchen.
