Cheesy Garlic Bread: The Ultimate Flavor Explosion!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large French bread loaves
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice each French bread loaf in half lengthwise.
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, dried parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread loaves.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese generously over the buttered bread.
- Place the bread halves on a baking sheet, cut side up, and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- For an extra golden top, switch to broil for the last 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture.
- Try using different cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack for a unique flavor twist.
