Ingredients:

  • 1 loaf of Italian bread (baguette or ciabatta works well)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the Garlic Butter Spread:
    • In a bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
  3. Slice the Bread:
    • Cut the Italian bread lengthwise, creating two halves.
  4. Spread the Garlic Butter Mixture:
    • Generously spread the garlic butter mixture on the cut sides of the bread.
  5. Add Cheese:
    • Sprinkle mozzarella, Parmesan, and cheddar cheeses evenly over the buttered bread.
  6. Bake:
    • Place the bread on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are golden brown.
  7. Broil (Optional):
    • If you want a crispier top, broil the garlic bread for an additional 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
  8. Slice and Serve:
    • Remove from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Slice into manageable pieces and serve warm.
