Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole sourdough loaf
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 200 grams cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the sourdough loaf into a grid pattern: make parallel cuts about 2 cm apart across the loaf, ensuring you don't cut all the way through, then rotate and do the same in the opposite direction.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then add minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until the garlic becomes fragrant but not browned.
Finely chop the parsley and stir it into the garlic butter mixture, reserving a pinch for garnish.
Using a pastry brush or spoon, carefully spread the garlic butter mixture into all the cuts of the sourdough loaf, ensuring each crevice is coated.
Stuff the shredded cheddar cheese generously into the cuts in the bread, making sure to get cheese in every section for maximum coverage.
Place the loaf on the prepared baking sheet and cover it loosely with aluminum foil to prevent the cheese from burning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly and the edges of the bread are crispy.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool slightly for 3-5 minutes. Sprinkle the reserved parsley over the top for garnish.
Serve warm, pulling apart the slices to enjoy the cheesy, garlicky goodness.
