Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette or Italian bread
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the loaf of bread in half lengthwise and place both halves cut-side up on a large baking sheet.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.
Remove the butter mixture from heat and stir in the chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread halves.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across both bread halves, followed by the grated parmesan cheese.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
For a golden-brown finish, switch to the broiler setting for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
Remove the cheesy garlic bread from the oven and let it cool slightly for 2 minutes.
Slice the bread into individual servings and enjoy warm!
