Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the bread loaf diagonally into 1-inch thick wedges and arrange them on a large baking sheet.

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the olive oil and minced garlic to the butter, stirring frequently for about 1 minute until fragrant (do not let the garlic brown).

Step 5

Brush the butter-garlic mixture evenly over the bread wedges using a pastry brush.

Step 6

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the bread, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is lightly golden.

Step 8

Remove the bread wedges from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and crushed red pepper flakes, if desired.

Step 9

Serve warm as an appetizer, side dish, or snack. Enjoy your Italian Bread Wedges!
