Ingredients

• 1 loaf Baguette or Italian bread
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Slice the baguette or Italian bread in half lengthwise and place both pieces cut-side up on the baking sheet.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, smoked paprika, chopped parsley, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Using a spatula or butter knife, spread the garlic butter mixture generously over the cut sides of the bread.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, mix the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheeses together.

Step 6

Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the garlic butter-coated bread halves.

Step 7

Drizzle the tops lightly with olive oil to help the cheese melt and brown beautifully.

Step 8

Place the bread in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, with golden brown edges.

Step 9

Optional: Turn on the broiler for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking to get extra crisp, golden cheese on top. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.

Step 10

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool for a minute or two. Slice into pieces and serve warm. Enjoy!
