Ingredients:
-
1 large 12 oz loaf of French bread
-
1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
-
4-5 minced garlic cloves
-
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
-
1 cup shredded mozzarella
-
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan
-
1/8 tsp paprika
-
Optional: 1/8 tsp chili flakes
-
Optional: 1/8 tsp dried basil
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Bread: Start with a large loaf of French bread, approximately 12 oz in weight.
-
Garlic Butter Mix: In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter with 4-5 minced garlic cloves. Mix until the garlic is evenly distributed in the butter.
-
Cheese and Herb Blend: Add 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley, 1 cup shredded mozzarella, 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan, 1/8 tsp paprika, and optionally, 1/8 tsp each of chili flakes and dried basil. Mix well to create a flavorful cheese and herb blend.
-
Assembly: Slice the French bread loaf lengthwise, creating two halves. Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over both halves, ensuring generous coverage.
-
Cheese Infusion: Sprinkle the prepared cheese and herb blend evenly over the garlic butter-covered bread.
-
Bake to Perfection: Place the assembled bread on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven until the cheese is melted and golden brown. This usually takes around 10-12 minutes.
-
Serve Warm: Once baked to perfection, slice the bread into portions and serve warm.
Tips for Customization:
Experiment with different cheese blends like Gouda, provolone, or fontina for a unique twist.
Add a dash of crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of heat.
For a gourmet touch, try using a rustic sourdough or artisanal bread.
