Ingredients
- 16 ounce sourdough or french loaf of bread
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or equal parts of dried basil parsley and oregano)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley divided use
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Place the bread on a foil lined sheet pan.
- Cut a grid on the bread by creating vertical cuts, stopping before you hit the bottom crust, then repeating the cuts in a horizontal manner.
- Place the butter, garlic, Italian seasoning and 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley in a small bowl. Microwave in 20 second increments or until butter is melted.
- Drizzle the butter into the crevices of the bread. Gently stuff the cheese into the crevices of the bread.
- Wrap the bread in foil to cover. Bake for 10 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle with remaining tablespoon of parsley and serve.
Notes
- You can choose your favorite bread type such as French, Italian or sourdough bread. Make sure not to choose a pre-sliced loaf of bread.
- Make sure you don't cut all the way through the loaf when you're making your cross-hatch pattern. You want the loaf to stay together in the oven, so stop cutting when you hit the start of the bottom crust.
- You can use any type of cheese you like for this recipe. You can try cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, fontina cheese or Swiss cheese.
