Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French or Italian bread loaf
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Cut the loaf of bread in half lengthwise, creating two long halves, and place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly across the cut sides of both bread halves.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the buttered bread, ensuring even coverage. Follow with a layer of grated Parmesan cheese.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown on the edges.
Optional: For an extra-crispy topping, broil the bread on high for 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Slice into portions and serve warm.
