Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) Unsalted butter
- 5 cloves (minced) Garlic cloves
- 1 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 1.5 cups (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 1.5 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped fresh parsley, mayonnaise, and olive oil.
Mix the ingredients well until fully combined into a smooth and spreadable paste.
Season the mixture with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Adjust seasonings based on personal preference.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice your bread (Italian or French loaf works best) in half lengthwise or into thick slices, depending on preference.
Spread a generous layer of the cheese garlic mixture over the cut side of each bread slice, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Place the bread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
For a golden-brown finish, place the bread under the broiler for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool for a couple of minutes.
Slice into individual pieces and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious cheese garlic bread!
