Ingredients
Scale:
1 loaf of crusty Italian or French bread (about 12-14 inches)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
4-6 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Carefully slice the loaf of bread in half lengthwise, creating two pieces of open-faced bread. Place the bread halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.
Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the garlic buttered bread.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. Slice into pieces and serve warm.
