Ingredients
- 1 large crusty loaf of bread sourdough or French bread
- 1 stick ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic finely minced
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese optional
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley fresh or dried
- A pinch of salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Step 1 – Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with foil.
- Step 2 – Slice the Bread
- Using a serrated knife, cut the loaf diagonally in both directions to make a crisscross pattern. Keep the bottom intact so the bread stays together.
- Step 3 – Make the Garlic Butter
- Mix melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir well.
- Step 4 – Fill the Loaf
- Gently separate the bread cubes and brush the garlic butter into every crevice.
- Stuff shredded mozzarella and cheddar between each cut for even cheesy coverage.
- Step 5 – Bake Until Golden
- Wrap the loaf loosely in foil and bake for 15 minutes.
- Then uncover and bake another 10 minutes, until the top is golden and crisp.
- Step 6 – Serve and Enjoy
- Serve warm — the cheese should be perfectly melted and stretchy.
Notes
- Use freshly grated cheese for a creamier melt.
- Don’t overbake — keep it soft inside.
- Serve right away for the best cheesy texture.
- To reheat, wrap in foil and warm in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes.
