Ingredients

• 1 loaf large loaf of crusty bread (sourdough or French)
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cups cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Cut the loaf of bread into a crisscross pattern without slicing all the way through. Create a grid pattern by making evenly spaced horizontal and vertical cuts.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and stir to combine.

Step 4

Add the finely chopped mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and turn golden brown.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley, grated mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. Mix until well combined.

Step 7

Carefully spoon the mushroom mixture into the crevices of the bread, making sure to distribute it evenly.

Step 8

Wrap the entire loaf in aluminum foil and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.

Step 9

Unwrap the bread and return it to the oven for an additional 8–10 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly crispy.

Step 10

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Serve warm, pulling apart the pieces to enjoy the buttery, cheesy goodness.
