Ingredients
Bread
- 1 large loaf crusty bread (sourdough or Italian)
Butter and Seasoning
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Using a serrated knife, make diagonal cuts into the loaf of bread, about 1-inch apart, but don’t cut all the way through.
- Rotate the bread and make another set of diagonal cuts to create a crosshatch pattern.
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.
- Carefully open the cuts in the bread and drizzle the garlic butter mixture between the slices.
- Stuff the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese into the cuts.
- Wrap the bread in foil and place it on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy.
- Unwrap the bread and bake for an additional 5 minutes to make it extra crispy.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
To keep any leftovers, wrap the bread tightly in foil or plastic wrap. Store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven to bring back the crispy texture.
