A deliciously cheesy and garlicky bread that’s perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf crusty bread (like ciabatta or baguette), sliced
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
- Assemble the Bread: Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over each slice of bread.
- Add the Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese generously over the buttered bread slices.
