Equipment

  • Baking sheet

  • Sharp knife for cutting the bread

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf Italian bread
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated

  • 3 cloves garlic finely chopped

  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

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

  • In a bowl, mix the softened butter, parmesan, mozzarella, chopped garlic, fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  • Spread the garlic and cheese mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread.
  • Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.

Notes

For a healthier option, substitute butter with olive oil. Feel free to use different cheeses like cheddar or provolone for varied flavors. This bread stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be frozen for up to 3 months.
