Why you’ll love this Easy Cheesy Green Chile Bread Recipe!
- Easy and Quick: This recipe comes together in minutes and is cooked in like 7 minutes tops. So you can throw it together and get it on the table quick.
- Cheesy Chile Delicious: You really cannot go wrong with cheese bread! Gooey cheese tops this buttery combination. The green chiles can be mild or hot depending on your taste. It’s all so yummy!

The first time I made a cheesy mayo bread like this was when I first got married. Some sweet friends of ours made it at a party and shared the recipe with me. Her recipe didn’t have any green chilies though. So this version is just kicked up a notch!
It really is the most scrumptious thing you will ever bite into. So I am giving you a fair warning here! Very addictive – contains much yumminess ahead!
Ingredients
How to Make Cheesy Green Chile Bread
Step 1 | Cheesy Green Chile Mixture
- In a medium bowl, soften or melt butter in the microwave. I usually have it somewhere in between, as you see in the first picture above. Start with 30 seconds and that should be good. Depending on how cold your butter and the strength of your microwave, you may need a little longer.
- Then, add to the bowl the mayo, green chiles (juice and all), and shredded cheese. Mix them until combined.
Step 2 | Slice and Coat Bread
- Slice the bread in half lengthwise and then spread the mixuture evenly onto each side.
- Place on lined baking sheet with the green chile mixture side up.
Step 3 | Bake
- Bake until bubbly and gooey delicious!
Substitutions and Variations:
- Do NOT drain the diced chiles!
- Keep an eye on the bread while it is cooking. You are cooking at a high temperature so it cooks fast and ovens vary.
Tips
Storage and Reheating:
Storage:
Since this has mayo and cheese any leftovers will need to be stored in the refrigerator. It can be stored for about 3 days.
Reheating:
You can warm this up in the microwave. I usually take a slice and start with 10-second intervals. If you over microwave it, it can become hard.
You can also put it back in the oven at 350° and heat it until warmed through. The time will depend on how large the piece is.
