A delightful twist on traditional garlic bread, this version is loaded with melted mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, creating a rich and savory treat that’s perfect as a side dish or appetizer.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 loaf French bread
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Prepare the Garlic Butter:

    • In a bowl, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning until well combined.

  3. Prepare the Bread:

    • Slice the French bread in half lengthwise.
    • Place the bread halves, cut side up, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. Assemble the Bread:

    • Spread the garlic butter evenly over the cut sides of the bread.
    • Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheeses evenly over the buttered bread.

  5. Bake:

    • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
    • For a golden, crispy top, you can broil the bread for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

  6. Serve:

    • Remove from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
    • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
    • Slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Bread Selection: Using a fresh loaf of French bread ensures a crispy crust and soft interior, ideal for holding the garlic butter and cheese.
  • Cheese Variations: Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like cheddar or provolone for varied flavors.
  • Herb Additions: Adding herbs such as basil or oregano to the garlic butter can enhance the flavor profile.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven to restore crispiness.
