- 1 teaspoon dried parsley or fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Step 5
Top the mozzarella with a light sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 6
Place the bread slices on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 7
For an extra crispy finish, switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
