Ingredients

• 1 loaf round sourdough bread loaf
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 6 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper (freshly ground)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Using a sharp bread knife, score the bread loaf in a crisscross pattern, creating 1-inch wide squares. Be careful not to cut all the way through the bottom crust.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped parsley, olive oil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and softened cream cheese. Mix until well combined.

Step 6

Carefully spread the melted garlic butter mixture into the crevices of the scored bread using a pastry brush or small spoon. Ensure even coverage.

Step 7

Stuff the cheese mixture generously into the crevices of the bread, pressing lightly to make sure it stays in place. Reserve a small amount of cheese for topping.

Step 8

Wrap the entire loaf loosely in aluminum foil and place it on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then carefully unwrap the foil and sprinkle the reserved cheese over the top.

Step 10

Return the bread to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.

Step 11

Remove the bread from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Serve immediately while the cheese is warm and gooey. Enjoy!
