Ingredients
- 1 piece French bread loaf
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 medium Jalapeño peppers, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise and place both halves 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 about 1 minute, until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Step 4
Using a pastry brush or spoon, evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread.
Step 5
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, chopped jalapeños, and red chili flakes. Mix everything well.
Step 6
Sprinkle the cheese mixture generously over the buttered bread halves, ensuring an even distribution.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet with the bread in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
Step 8
Turn the oven to broil and broil the bread for an additional 2-3 minutes to achieve a golden, slightly crispy topping. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Step 9
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.
Step 10
Slice into thick pieces and serve warm. Enjoy your Chili Cheese Bread!
