Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece French bread loaf
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 medium Jalapeño peppers, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise and place both halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Using a pastry brush or spoon, evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread.
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, chopped jalapeños, and red chili flakes. Mix everything well.
Sprinkle the cheese mixture generously over the buttered bread halves, ensuring an even distribution.
Place the baking sheet with the bread in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
Turn the oven to broil and broil the bread for an additional 2-3 minutes to achieve a golden, slightly crispy topping. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.
Slice into thick pieces and serve warm. Enjoy your Chili Cheese Bread!
