Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter (1 stick) softened
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley + extra for serving
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- pepper to taste
- 1 (16 ounce) loaf French bread
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Take the butter out of the fridge at least an hour prior to starting the recipe.
- Preheat your oven to 400F and move the rack to the top third of the oven.
- Add the butter, garlic, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, parsley, and salt & pepper to a small bowl. Mash together with a fork until well combined.
- Cut the loaf of bread in half horizontally (try to get the two halves as equally sized as possible) and place each piece cut-side up on a baking sheet.
- Spread the butter over the cut side of each half of bread, then top each half with the parmesan, followed by the mozzarella.
- Bake for 12 minutes, then broil for a few minutes (watch it carefully so it doesn't burn!) until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Cut into slices and serve immediately with extra parsley sprinkled over top.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Serving size really depends on how much people eat. Make it a meal for 2-4 with a salad, or serve it as an appetizer/one of several dishes at a gathering.
- Feel free to omit the extra salt if you're sensitive to salt or prefer using salted butter.
- This recipe is also on page 239 of the Salt & Lavender: Everyday Essentials cookbook.
