Ingredients

• 1 loaf French bread or baguette
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 4 large Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Fresh basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the French bread or baguette in half lengthwise and place on a baking sheet, cut side up.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 4

Remove the butter from heat and stir in the chopped parsley, basil, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Using a pastry brush, evenly spread the garlic herb butter mixture over both halves of the bread.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the bread, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 7

Drizzle a tiny bit of olive oil over the top of each bread half to help the cheese brown and bubble.

Step 8

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the edges of the bread are golden brown.

Step 9

For an extra crispy finish, switch the oven to broil and toast the bread for an additional 1-2 minutes. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.

Step 10

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Slice it into desired portions and serve warm.
