Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf of Italian bread, halved lengthwise
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter and minced garlic. Mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spread the Garlic Butter on Bread: Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the Italian bread.
- Add the Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the garlic buttered bread, followed by the shredded Mozzarella cheese.
- Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Place the prepared bread on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bread is golden brown. Broil for the last minute for a more toasted top.
Notes
- Use fresh garlic for the most intense flavor.
- Softened butter is easier to mix and spread evenly.
- Don’t skimp on the cheese! A generous layer ensures every bite is cheesy.
- Watch the bread carefully while baking to prevent burning.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
