Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large baguette or Italian loaf, halved lengthwise
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley plus extra for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Prepare the Bread
  1. Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the halved baguette or loaf cut-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Make the Garlic Butter
  1. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Spread the Garlic Butter
  1. Using a spatula or knife, generously spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread. Ensure the entire surface is evenly coated for maximum flavor.
Add the Cheese
  1. Sprinkle a generous layer of mozzarella cheese over the garlic butter, followed by the Parmesan cheese. The combination of these two cheeses creates the perfect balance of creaminess and sharpness.
Bake
  1. Transfer the bread to the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.
Broil for Extra Crispiness
  1. For an added golden-brown crust, switch your oven to broil for the last 2–3 minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Garnish and Serve
  1. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for 1–2 minutes. Sprinkle with additional parsley for a pop of color and serve immediately. Slice into portions and enjoy!
