📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Cut the loaf of bread in half lengthwise and place both halves cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.

3. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave in 15-second intervals until fully melted.

4. Stir the minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper into the melted butter, combining well.

5. Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread halves using a pastry brush or spoon.

6. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the buttered bread.

7. Top with crumbled bacon, ensuring an even distribution across both halves.

8. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

9. Turn on the oven’s broiler and broil the bread for 1-2 minutes, just until the top is golden and slightly browned. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.

10. Remove the bread from the oven and sprinkle the chopped green onions over the top.

11. Let the bread cool for a minute or two, then slice it into portions and serve warm. Enjoy your Loaded Garlic Bread as a decadent side dish or snack!
