Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf round crusty bread loaf (sourdough or artisan)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Using a sharp serrated knife, make diagonal cuts across the top of the bread, creating a grid pattern. Be careful not to cut all the way through to the bottom.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Mince the garlic and stir it into the melted butter. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then remove from heat.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and mix it into the garlic butter along with the olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Carefully spoon or brush the garlic butter mixture into the cuts of the bread, ensuring even distribution.
Stuff the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses into the cuts, pushing them down gently so the cheese fills the gaps.
Wrap the bread in aluminum foil, leaving the top slightly open to allow the cheese to melt and brown.
Place the wrapped bread on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes covered. Then, open the foil completely and bake for an additional 5 minutes to get a golden, bubbly top.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes. Serve warm, pulling apart pieces of the bread to enjoy with the cheesy filling.
