Ingredients
- 1 loaf round crusty bread loaf (sourdough or artisan)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 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 or aluminum foil.
Step 2
Using a sharp serrated knife, make diagonal cuts across the top of the bread, creating a grid pattern. Be careful not to cut all the way through to the bottom.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Mince the garlic and stir it into the melted butter. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then remove from heat.
Step 4
Finely chop the fresh parsley and mix it into the garlic butter along with the olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Carefully spoon or brush the garlic butter mixture into the cuts of the bread, ensuring even distribution.
Step 6
Stuff the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses into the cuts, pushing them down gently so the cheese fills the gaps.
Step 7
Wrap the bread in aluminum foil, leaving the top slightly open to allow the cheese to melt and brown.
Step 8
Place the wrapped bread on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes covered. Then, open the foil completely and bake for an additional 5 minutes to get a golden, bubbly top.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes. Serve warm, pulling apart pieces of the bread to enjoy with the cheesy filling.
