Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf round sourdough bread loaf
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the sourdough loaf on a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, make diagonal cuts about 1 inch apart across the top of the bread, cutting nearly to the bottom but not all the way through. Repeat in the opposite direction to create a diamond pattern.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
Carefully pry open the cut sections of the bread and evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses into the slits. Ensure the cheese is evenly distributed for maximum gooeyness.
Using a pastry brush or spoon, drizzle the garlic butter mixture between the cuts and over the top of the bread, ensuring it seeps into all the openings.
Wrap the bread loosely in aluminum foil and place it on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then carefully unwrap the foil to expose the top. Bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool for a few minutes. Place it on a serving platter and let your guests pull off the delicious cheesy pieces. Serve warm!
