Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Round crusty loaf of bread (e.g., sourdough)
- 200 grams Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 100 grams Shredded cheddar cheese
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Using a sharp bread knife, make deep cuts in the bread, forming a grid-like pattern. Be careful not to cut all the way through the base of the loaf.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Stir the chopped parsley, chives, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper into the melted butter and garlic mixture.
Gently separate the bread cuts and drizzle the butter mixture evenly, ensuring the garlic and herbs seep into the crevices.
Stuff the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese into the bread's cuts, spreading it evenly throughout to ensure cheesiness in every bite.
Place the stuffed bread loaf onto the prepared baking sheet and cover it loosely with aluminum foil to prevent the top from burning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the top is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Transfer it to a serving dish and serve warm, pulling apart pieces to enjoy the gooey, cheesy, and crunchy goodness.
