Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette or Italian bread
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the loaf of bread horizontally in half, and place the halves cut-side up on a large baking sheet.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds.
Stir the minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper into the melted butter.
Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the cut sides of the bread, ensuring even coverage.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across both halves of the bread.
Top the mozzarella with grated Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Switch to the broiler setting (optional) and broil for an additional 1-2 minutes to achieve a golden, slightly crispy cheese topping. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool for 2-3 minutes.
Cut the garlic bread into slices and serve warm. Enjoy your Gooey Mozzarella Garlic Bread!
