Description
A delicious cheesy garlic bread perfect for sharing!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (16-ounce) Sourdough, Italian, or French Loaf (whole, not sliced)
- 2 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (same as 8 ounces)
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cloves Fresh Garlic (minced)
- Chopped Parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Slice the upper half of the BREAD loaf into a cross-hatch pattern without cutting through the bottom of the loaf; first slice the bread into diagonal 1-inch thick strips in one direction, then angle the knife to slice in the opposite direction.
- Gently stuff the shredded cheese into the crevices of the grid.
- Combine BUTTER and GARLIC in a heat-safe bowl and microwave in short intervals until the butter is melted.
- Drizzle the melted butter into the bread crevices. Brush any remaining butter over the surface. Sprinkle PARSLEY over the top.
- Wrap the bread loaf in foil and place it on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Carefully remove the foil and bake uncovered for 5 minutes to crisp the surface.
- Rest the loaf for a few minutes and serve warm.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes to the garlic butter.
- Can be served as an appetizer or side dish with pasta.
