Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette or Italian bread
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Slice the loaf of bread horizontally in half, and place the halves cut-side up on a large baking sheet.
Step 3
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds.
Step 4
Stir the minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper into the melted butter.
Step 5
Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the cut sides of the bread, ensuring even coverage.
Step 6
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across both halves of the bread.
Step 7
Top the mozzarella with grated Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor.
Step 8
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Step 9
Switch to the broiler setting (optional) and broil for an additional 1-2 minutes to achieve a golden, slightly crispy cheese topping. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
Step 10
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool for 2-3 minutes.
Step 11
Cut the garlic bread into slices and serve warm. Enjoy your Gooey Mozzarella Garlic Bread!
