Servings: 8
Cost: $10
Ingredients
- 1 loaf boule bread
- ½ cup butter 1 stick
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley flakes
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉
- Use a serrated knife to cut 1-inch slices in a criss-cross pattern in the loaf. Be careful not to cut all the way through the bottom.
- Melt the butter, minced garlic, garlic powder and parsley in a small bowl in your microwave
- Line a baking sheet with enough aluminum foil to wrap around the loaf, and place the sliced loaf on top of the foil
- Use a knife to spread most the garlic butter mixture in between the cuts in the bread. Reserve some for the top
- Stuff the cheese into the bread, and brush remaining garlic butter on top of the bread
- Bring the foil up and around the loaf so it is covered
- Bake for 20 minutes covered, then open foil and bake for another 10 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and cheese is melted
- Serve immediately
Notes
You can either melt butter completely or soften it so it's spreadable. I prefer softened butter, but both ways work.
Look for a dense loaf of bread that will be strong enough to hold the melted cheese without falling apart. Boule bread, sourdough bread or sturdy French bread will work.
